Abstract/Executive Summary
The general concept of the mixed-media performance art is to show how Tiktok can be seen through the point of view of individuals and to show the reality that these women face, the struggles of one’s body image are negatively impacted by an online platform full of heavily edited and crucial content about body image. The objective of the artwork is to have the audience’s attention on the effects of TikTok on an individual. The researchers aim to create a mixed-media performance focusing on the interviewees' body language and responses. Painting and sculpting will be part of the artwork, which will help visualize what the researchers aim for in the study. For the data collection process, the researchers have interviewed grade 12 female students who are users of TikTok and view beauty-related content often. The researchers have analyzed the data collected from the interview and found answers to the questions they aimed to answer. The researchers have noticed similarities between the interviewees' answers and how they are affected by Tiktok negatively because they see people who meet the “beauty standards” and wonder why they “do not”.The researchers were able to create a performance by creating a performance that shows the negative effects of TikTok on their body image and spreads awareness and a positive influence to the grade 12 female students.
