Boobs Jacket and

Nipples Jacket

This pair of works, Boobs Jacket and Nipples Jacket represents my experience of peers or partners commenting on the size of my chest since I was a teenager. People obsess about boobs—women's boobs, men's boobs, and in many ways. Women's breasts are especially obsessed about when seen as a function of fertility to rear children—much unlike pornography, which "educates" the viewer with the perfect breasts for sexuality. Pornography shows a limited view of these functional body parts, but there are so many different chest shapes and nipples in human beings. Boobs Jacket includes boobs of various conditions —breastfeeding boobs, muscular boobs, etc.; while Nipples Jacket aims to show a wide range of genderless nipples. Both jackets were made from the silhouettes of bomber jackets, which tend to represent pilots or baseball team wear; however, I used this silhouette because of its universality as unisexual wear.
