Cui Xiuwen's "Angel" works involve an innocent looking, thin, little Chinese girl with a straight hair cut and dark hair. Some of her works repeat this image of the girl, while others simply emphasize the one image of the girl. Cui Xiuwen's works have themes of maternity, motherhood, family, gender, and women in general. When I look at her "Angel" series, I see a very young and innocent looking pregnant girl. I believe the white dress she is wearing and the fairness of her skin suits the innocent tone of the piece. The poses that she is in are also often very soft poses with relaxed expressions on her face. I especially like this piece because the serenity of the girl is really captured and emphasized with the contrast of the scale of the girl with the background.
