A series of relics from the early 21century

​The remnants of high heels, a purse, and a shopping bag, are in a series of 
​relics from the ​early 21st century as viewed from the 22nd century.

 My work is a notion of what typical female beauty of this modern era would look like if viewed from far into the future. 
I think the items most representative of beauty would be luxury goods, particularly purses and high heels.
To make the work appear to be "relics," I emphasized the fragility of the material by using glass frit and powder.
The implicit meaning of my work is a reflection on the vanity of humans,
in terms of external beauty and our present culture, which has resulted in an overly materialistic society.
