In the latter case. the clothes should be covered over the body. in particular. should be covered in the body hidden. However. in this group of works. the body is painted surface of the cloth clothes. and various parts of the body  not a layer of clothes wrapped the contrary. the body is a clothes pattern. also wrapped in the clothes. which subvert the clothes and body inherent in the relationship. - Wang Ming An
