Everybody Wants a Piece of Me
Everybody Wants a Piece of Me
"Everybody Wants a Piece of Me" is inspired by the business cards left by sex workers on the streets of Shanghai and my personal experience with modern dating apps. Scrolling through a dating profile feels like picking up one of these cards—an instant judgment based on a mere fragment of who you are. In this digital space, your “card” is handed out to the vast dating pool, but no one truly knows the whole you.
To reflect this, I combined fragmented 3D scans of myself with common keywords found on dating apps, presenting them in the form of business cards, tear-off flyers, and stickers. The work aims to capture the fragmented, often toxic nature of online dating.
I also incorporated elements like grocery sale flyers, food stickers, and an image of meats hanging in a butcher shop—photographed during a visit to underscore the commodification of oneself in the pursuit of connection. These elements suggest the paradox of offering pieces of yourself, hoping to fill an inner void, only to end up feeling emptier than before.
