I was inspired by great Chinese feminist culture called Nvshu. Nvshu is a kind of writing created by ancient Chinese women that is limited to communication between women. Ancient women could not learn Chinese characters, so they created hidden language to confide their pain to each other. In my design, I want to use this old hidden language to convey new female power to modern Chinese women.

Nvshu contains strong female power

In ancient China, Chinese women cannot learn Chinese characters, so they created Nvshu to communicate and get energy from each other. Nvshu served as a secret medium for ancient women pour out pain, it could also served as medium for modern women to contact directly.

I created a new form of Nvshu.
