KING OF
WEIGHT LOSS
2022
I am a girl who with severe body anxiety. In years of losing weight, I have tried countless unhealthy measures until I found that the attempts for weight loss have hurt my body. I began considering why I had to get rid of a few pounds of fat at the cost of health. Therefore, I decided to make a project about excessive weight loss to remind people like me to pay attention to their health while losing weight.
I made an interactive playbook and showed the extreme methods of four characters that I summarized during my research.


Material: Art paper, cardboard, dead grass,paper towels,coloured pencil, plastic bags, watercolor
Size:38.4cm*28.8cm

There are 4 characters in the book:
  • A girl who is eager to be slimmer and slimmer with a list of dieting plans and worries about the numbers on the scale
  • A fitness fanatic who pursues a low body fat rate and eats up 160 bags of poached chicken breast, resulting in serious damage to the stomach and kidney
  • An office worker who hides their body shape with oversize clothes before being satisfied with the figure
  • An Instagrammer who cares so much about the followers’ attitude and makes every effort to look perfect, even at a great cost


I showed the book to some friends and let them vote for the champion, and the winner could get a "medal."
I also held a ceremony (which looked like a funeral) for the winner.



See who is the winner of the award?
