Chen Lingyang also wanted to show photos from a series in which she reflects on her body and her menstruation cycle. Since the public exhibition of nudity is not allowed in Sharjah, she concealed the photos in an Arabic case, transforming an act of censorship into a conceptual artwork.

For her other works she was awarded one of the Biennial Prizes.
