Yellow-White Baked renders the modern Chinese standards of female beauty as it has been influenced by Western capitalist society. With the modern population's obsession with Western lifestyle, facial enhancements become more prominent - from the perfect nose to the perfect jawline. These obsessions fuel modern beauty standards to move towards Western perfection. This piece consists of facial attachments that change the artist's real facial features, such as an enhanced high bridge nose, double eyelids, fine thick lips, porcelain skin color, and strands of blond hair. All these characteristics embody the cultural shifts to globalization that is dependent on the obsession with Western beauty.
