While it is absolutely incredible to live in a time where facial modeling pipelines are accelerated with generative programs, I noticed that many of these programs were focused on caucasian facial structures. Many east asian facial structures lacked the same kind of care. Sometimes I feel like I lose my independence and authority over the subjection of my physical form. In response to Techno-Orientalism, I wanted to reclaim my identity as a female identifying Korean by 3D modeling my face with honesty and care. I hope to add this to the library of "3D female Asian face references" to help spread a more authentic representation.
