The 'Spa Menu' is a continual exploration of themes revolving around beauty, skin, and youth. Set in Auntie’s Beauty Spa, this chapter showcases a realm of intense beauty treatments, including acupuncture and body wraps using fresh ingredients. Here, aunties are depicted enduring various beauty sessions, often maintaining a smile through the process.
Portraits of aunties receiving facial treatments feature a mix of different elements – parts of creatures, ingredients, objects, and needles – adorning their faces. Tiny construction workers and machines are also depicted busily at work on their visages. These images symbolise the discomfort and effort women endure to conform to societal standards of youth and beauty. The level of alteration and treatment they undergo is likened to a mini construction site, highlighting the extensive and often painful lengths undertaken in the pursuit of these ideals.
