However, just like the process of body art, from Willendorf's Venus' conscious exaggeration of the chest, abdomen and buttocks, to the suppression of primitive desires in ancient Egyptian flat portraits (we have never seen Ji Woo after the operation, and the director also interestingly Let him disappear quickly, which seems to be an extreme repression of desire), to ancient Greece, which completely objectively created an anatomically realistic human body, but in the end ancient Greece could not stand the dullness (just as Sehee did not want to change).
