ARTIST STATEMENT:
My work reflects the fragility of societal reality, presenting alternative symbolizations and staging the paradoxical coexistence of conformity and individuality. In my artistic language, I unravel systemic structures by disrupting industrial functionality into playful or exaggerated features, committed to articulating my voice and celebrating diverse expressions.
我的作品呈现出现实生活中的脆弱与不稳定。通过观察和重构机制化的固定格式，作品以矛盾和暧昧的形态展示了不同身份之间的共性和差异，探讨个体与集体之间的失衡关系，创造多元声音。
