Possessing a strong undercurrent of misogyny and sexism, Sit‘s Haiiro Trash series is off-putting, but nothing short of sheer genius. Essentially, it forces us to reflect on our agenda as a society. When it concerns the female form, we are constantly promoting notions of perfection, and flawlessness. We have branded women with an expiration date, making them useful for only a given period time.
Yet another installation in the Haiiro collection, Haiiro Trash would look to be a tasteless display of hot legs, but it is actually a stark example of social commentary. Sit is confronting us with the brunt of our own bias actions. Consisting of three sculptures, Haiiro Trash is vaguely reminiscent of a 1967 issue of Esquire titled, The New American Woman: Through At 21.
