Through the observation from cultural codes and eastern costumes, traditional paper-cut art and totem, in the Chinese society, reveal mainstream consciousness toward love, sex and felicities for “reproduction” and “normal pattern” in miniature. With the passage of time, expected role played by women should be loyal and humble.
"The shells of moral pattern" suppress female desire, bodies and soul so they don’t have self-oriented cogitation but serve others as anchor point to move. In hence, facing external changes, they are defenseless within empty shells in the patriarchal environment.
Nowadays, love and sexual connection cannot be limited by “moral pattern” or “legal framework”. Instead of ignoring the phenomenon and humanities under the surface of shell, we should face the gap between “moral surface” and “underlying reality” with open discussion.

Taiwan locates in subtropical climate zone and surrounded by the sea which is always in high-temperature and humid. Most constructions’ cement wall will form hairy and powdery “wall mold” due to the environmental condition. The surface layer of wall mold is motionless while the underlying layer vary with the passage of time, then showing the results out of the surface. The mashrooming of wall mold can be interpreted by motion graphics.
