quotidian
quotidian: “What is next, in front of us, does not mean the next thing, does not come next.” The rank, the rank or the ordinary is their reading of gender roles through identity representation. Gender roles emphasized by society, such as a good daughter, a good wife, a good lover, a good mother, and a good woman, are now considered "ordinary" and normalized. I decided to shave my hair, which is one of the symbols of being a woman, because of the social pressure this ordinaryness creates on me. I couldn't stand the pressure of ordinary things and the fear brought on by the pressure, and I gave a performance where I shaved my hair. During the performance, I smiled from time to time and felt a sense of relief. Contrary to popular belief, I was not upset. Because I no longer carry the gender role that society gave me, even if it was symbolic, it was a relief for me.
