This collage is about the Singaporean ‘pick up’ culture, also known as ‘dabao’(take away), where females are objectified as something that can be taken away. I arranged the items that symbolize the female body, pick up lines and the materialistic objects that often used in this kind of situation. The style is inspired by Hannah Hoch, a Dada artist famous for her incisively political collage artworks. She used metaphoric imagery to represent the social issue such as Das schöne Mädchen (The Beautiful Girl).
