碩士 === 國立臺北藝術大學 === 美術創作碩士班油畫組 === 98 === Experiencing life is a very personal matter, and creating art is my way of expressing those experiences. Interacting with people, situations, objects and environments continuously inspires new ideas for me to create. Exploring the nature of painting, we cannot change the chaotic condition of our world and environment. But, I look deep into myself, and reflect my personal wishes and perceptions about the world onto my art. By viewing pet box as a treasure box, one can detect meaning in all its corners through visual analysis. Within the box, social values are contained, and its content, space, sculpted nature, and color come to represent things we desire. Probing deeply into one’s soul to seek out innermost desires while walking with the pet box, the box becomes a part of the body. It becomes a depiction of a society where trust among people is lost and pets have substituted people as companions. By placing one’s desires into the pet box, the soul’s void is temporarily made whole. In the "Secrets in the Space of Desire" series, the artist places images of her innermost desires into a pet box, so that associations or predictions can be formed regarding her interactions with those people, scenes, or pets. Through topics discussed in this artwork, viewers are brought temporarily back to the original and pure state of the world.
