Stunning Or Gross? Taiwanese Photographer Explores Issues Of Womanhood
Yung Cheng Lin, also known as “3cm”, is an extremely talented Taiwanese photographer. She explores the topics of womanhood – sexuality, birth, menstruation, maturity, the obstacles in front of women and the expectations towards them in today’s society.
In sometimes disturbing and surreal photos, he succeeds in touching us deeply, make us stop and think. All this is done by using everyday objects, simple colors and the magic of light. And unlike many others who try to stand out by simply shocking the audience, Yung Cheng Lin gives us something more than that – the sparkle that evokes sensation of delicacy and rebellion, the sparkle of a true talent.

Share on FacebookI thought it was me and the fact I am a guy.. but guess not. But you can always play "spot the fly" :D
Load More Replies...I guess to some people its artistic but it just puts me off. Its obviously supposed to be edgy...but to me its over the top for no reason other than to be over the top...and get people talking about it.
Art's job is to make people think and maybe open up a dialogue. It did its job.
Load More Replies...I don't like the title of the article... It suggests that ppl should find it gross, thatś why there are so many negative comments. I don't see anything gross at all. I love it!
I'm so glad I'm not the only one who had an issue with that! Like, these are issues women face, there's nothing gross about it unless you're referring to the fact that women are overly sexualized, which is something these photos suggest.
Load More Replies...I'm assuming it was a typo... but after viewing the photos, who knows.
Load More Replies...If you are looking for a reaction your bound to get one with these photo's . I thought they were totally raw and left a bad taste in my mouth
intriguing but would be easier to understand with captions/titles about the meanings.
Real art is meant to be interpreted by the viewer. You cannot just tell someone what to think or feel.
Load More Replies...These pictures are are so powerful, beautiful. A lot of people are complaining that it's gross, or unfeminine, but that's the point! Art is supposed to be disturbing sometimes, it peels back the falseness and shows the raw truth, disturbing the comfortable and comforting the disturbed.
there is a fly on almost every single photo! what does it have to do with womanhood?
it just made me think womanhood is gross, reminding me of a s**t, there's always flies around it, which is really disturbing and i find it offensive as a woman (and im actually hard in any way basically cause i dont give too many f***s, yet im surprised this upset me, specially knowing this is "art".. and there aint anything more subjective than art) oh well.
Load More Replies...Why is it sickening? Because it's dealing with issues women face in their everyday lives and you don't want to see them?
Load More Replies...Because obviously these issues only apply to the artist and not EVERY SINGLE WOMAN WHO'S EVER LIVED. Yeah, totally self indulgent.
Load More Replies...I am also not sure I understand what the photographer is saying with the pictures. I am a women of years and cannot relate to the concept.
STUNNISSIME!!!! LOVE THE WAY SHE ABSTRACTS JUST NORMAL MOMENTS ON A WOMEN'S LIFE!!! JUST BRAVO!
Some of these photos were disturbing and degrading, (not by the artist, but by socially imposed beauty standards that he is accentuating) but they all, at the same time, brought truth back in society's standards of the female population. The artist is free to express his art in any form he chooses, but this is not something that I would be interested in viewing at my local galleries. I do think it is bold and makes a statement. He seems to have good ideas throughout his body of work but I don't care for his form of expression.
Beauty standard are woman's standards; stop victimizing, it's sooo childish
Load More Replies...I will admit the idea is interesting and the concept of each photo entertaining at best, but it lose some, I don't know, grip, or edges, I guess. It probably means to be edgy, but there's not much atmosphere and mood. It doesn't have much senses of "sharpness" I wished to see in these kind of photos. Really, give it some intensity and I would like it better. But, I'm just someone who seen it that way. Then again, beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. :)
Could you imagine if you just found cookies in your underwear? That would be awesome!
I think gross; I see no reason or meaning in the pictures, unless it is some subversion or fetish of the photographer. When is art not art?
It's disgusting. Absolutely unfeminine and unpleasant. I think I'm not going to eat bananas and cookies for some time....
Some of these are hard to look at...some I get..and then some are ??? But that's art for you! Some of it should cause you to wonder!
It would have a much more profound effect if it was a little less gross and a little more grace.
that's most likely the entire point, people expect women to be graceful and feminine, and this shows the truth about being a woman-
Load More Replies...I dont get it :/ Some of them are very thought provoking and I'm like "wow", but most of them I am a lil confused by.
I'm a little confused but some of the pieces I understood. It is like a riddle, not obvious..and penis as woman's issue?!
good art should comfort the disturbed and disturb the comfortable
These are incredibly beautiful and powerful. Sorry to any of the people that don't seem to have an imagination, art is supposed to make you think, not quick to judge :P
Beautifully and masterfully executed. Great compositions. Some oxymoronic subjects. Sometimes a bit disturbing. Clever. Thought provoking. Love the fly!
So much negative energy in many of these comments. Strong testimony to the beautiful power in this work.
Negative comments are negative comments, not necessarily a "testimony" of anything; that's a common logical fallacies

absolutely not. the issue of 'torn' sexuality might make the juvenile mind happy; for more 'experienced users' this is just a waste of time.
Weird, bot cool at the samevtime. It's art. The photos favorite artist must be Salvador Dahli.
No, dosent make any sense. If you want us to appreciate your art make sure its art not c**p
