Fluid Skin seeks to explore the visual correlation between specific skin conditions and water patterns, with the objective of encouraging individuals to adopt a broader perspective on skin health and self-acceptance. As part of preliminary research, the project invited five young women to engage in discussions concerning "skin issues" and the perfect standards of skin from the East Asian aesthetic viewpoint. After sharing their stories, they proffered recommendations to those troubled by their skin conditions. In Part 2, I transform the images provided by the interviewees into linear skin textures. These graphics are arranged alongside water texture pictures captured over the past three weeks. The objective is to explore the visual correlation between skin and water, organizing them into six distinct skin conditions as chapters. People can freely explore the unique graphics and their origins under each skin condition.

Freckles are small brown spots on your skin, often in areas that get sun exposure. In most cases, freckles are harmless. They form as a result of overproduction of melanin, which is responsible for skin and hair color (pigmentation). www.healthline.com
