Artist Statement
My recent works focus on exploring the social and cultural elements in the environment around me through my identity as a foreigner. Like a social investigator, based on objectively observing the living environment and society, then I create artworks through subjective thinking. I collect information and clues from the outside world, such as abandoned objects in parks and seemingly unrelated events that happened in New York City in the same month, and associate them with my thoughts on culture, society, politics, and my personal experiences about race and my cultural background. Through intervening in specific situations, such as public spaces, to create artwork from my perspective, I enjoy creating unusual and humorous scenes that reveal hidden critical and political concepts and meanings. I strive for the moment when people become aware of the unexpected realities my project sparks.
最近的作品著重於藉由我作為外國人的身份來探索周圍環境中的社會和文化元素。就像作為一位社會調查員，客觀地觀察生活環境和社會，並主觀思考來創作自己的作品，從外界收集訊息和線索，例如：公園裡的廢棄物品和同一個月在紐約市發生看似無關的事件，並將它們與我對文化、社會和政治的想法和關於種族和自身文化背景的個人經歷聯繫起來。通過介入公共空間等特定場域，並以我的視角創作作品，我喜歡創造異常且幽默的場景去揭示隱藏的批判性和政治性概念，讓人們意識到我的藝術創作中所引發的意想不到之現實。
