The GUA SHA Treatment is a famous Chinese therapy which is related to cooking oil, body,blood,and etc.This artwork trys to reveal the embodiment of Yin Yang Five Elements(Golden,Wood,Water,Fire and Soil)  classical theory in Chinese Traditional medical treatment and be passed on to the modern society as a cultural heritage by generation to generation.Although this treatment seems cruel, it has a good effect on some diseases.
Due to the painful treatment process,this Chinese traditional medical treatment is less and less valued by young generation,but I,a Southeast Chinese who was born in the 1970s, still like this therapy.I still use the GUA SHA Treatment every time when I feel uncomfortable.
This work is consisted by 5 photographs wich were taken from Dec,2017 to Feb,2020.This work is also as a witness for my physical changes which my identity is from a local Chinese to a foreigner.
