About Me

“The Stool and Its

Unstable Lamp”

11 x 15 inch
This work is an observational sketch. In a corner of the art classroom at my school, I found a chair leaning against another chair while an abandoned lamp hung on the chair. This outstanding sense of instability immediately caught my attention. In this drawing, I chose to draw with charcoal, which was a new way of creating for me because it was my first time creating art with charcoal.

“Clothes Rack”

20 x 23 inches
In this mixed-media work, the cross and two guns stand like clothes hangers on the blood-stained land. However, the dove depicts on the cross, highlighting the contradiction between war and peace. The clothesline is covered with tattered fabrics, which profoundly illustrates the poverty and hardship of people during the war.

“Falling”

12×16 inches
This is a piece I drew using oil pastels. An isolated figure reaches out to catch a falling person in the work. The picture shows a tense state, with people surrounded by old and dilapidated buildings. I tried to capture the tender moment when a human being is at a loss, but there are still people willing to come forward and show the bright spots of humanity in a background full of darkness and uneasiness. This image triggered a profound reflection on the unrest and human suffering caused by social unrest. However, we need to find out whether the person reaching out succeeded in catching the fallen person, and this uncertainty further highlights the uncertainty and fear in social reality.

“The Dark and

Damp Corridor”

14×21 inches
This is a charcoal drawing. The old man’s thin body and blank expression convey his loneliness and helplessness. His presence seems to be forgotten in this hospital corridor, like many elderly people in society. The elements of the hospital room in the painting, such as the electrocardiograph, remind the audience that the elderly relatives may be experiencing the last moments of their lives. This also highlights the importance of society’s care and attention to the needs of the elderly. Through this work, I try to arouse the audience’s attention to the situation of the elderly and to care for groups that are easily ignored in society.

“The Sink and the

Spider”

13 x 20 inches
This is an observational work. I painted an abandoned pool table in the school art classroom. The sink and walls were splashed with paint, and the tap was stained multiple times. Since it had not been used for a long time, the sink was covered with spider webs, and there was always a spider crawling. However, these traces of stained paint give the abandoned pool its brilliant color.
I want to show that things retain their unique qualities even when forgotten. They appear unique because of the paint, just as every abandoned object, even an individual, still has exceptional value and story.

“Bear”

20 x 24 inches
This is my first creative mixed-media work. I tried various new artistic techniques, combining irregular scraps of cardboard with sketches and pasting them on the canvas after firing them to create the effect of ruins and collapsed bridges. The shabby bear in the upper right corner of the piece symbolizes those innocent children who have suffered psychological and physical trauma in social unrest.

“Mirror”

20×24 inches
This is the first painting in my “Self and Society” theme series, and it can also be said to be a portrait of myself. Growing up, I was influenced by various things from the outside world, making me feel inferior and timid. However, this painting represents me now breaking through the “mirror” I once saw myself in and finally accepting myself.
