"Nipple Color" originates from the artist's profound awareness of the difference between their own nipple pigmentation and societal norms, a "non-normative" physiological characteristic that continuously triggered dialectics of identity and existential anxiety throughout their developmental stages. By translating this vulnerable and traumatic bodily memory into rigorous chromatic research, the artist successfully constructs a visual vocabulary that encompasses both personal narrative and universal inquiry.

Within the East Asian cultural context, nipples as bodily symbols are subject to strict gender politics and display hierarchies. These regulations not only shape power relations within viewing mechanisms but also profoundly influence people's cognitive frameworks and value judgments regarding bodily differences. This research reveals that even within East Asian populations often perceived as homogeneous, nipple pigmentation actually presents a rich chromatic spectrum ranging from light pink to deep brown, directly challenging our essentialist assumptions about racial characteristics and skin color associations.

The artist ingeniously employs the systematic form of commercial color charts for archiving, transforming the interviewees' intimate bodily features into de-emotionalized color data, constructing an ambiguous archive that oscillates between private and public domains. This strategy of "commodifying" extremely personal bodily features offers a critical reflection on medical gaze and commercial objectification while revealing how bodily differences are normalized, standardized, and commodified under the operation of consumer civilization.

This creative practice establishes a comprehensive human color gamut database spanning individual differences through systematic fieldwork methodology and documentary imaging techniques. "Nipple Color" not only successfully sublimates personal trauma into artistic research with social critical implications but also challenges viewers' established paradigms of bodily cognition, prompting them to contemplate the complex dialectical relationship between physiological characteristics and cultural constructs. This work, with its depersonalized yet humanistically concerned visual archive, provides a rigorous and groundbreaking academic foundation for contemporary human body research and body politics while maintaining the subjectivity and privacy of the interviewees.
