No matter where we stay at or travel to, we will meet all kinds of individuals along our life. People come and go like waves, we connect and influence one another in forms that we cannot imagine; we grow and mature through connecting with distinct individuals. 就像有人會用繩子來比喻假使你們之間有了交集, 就不會是兩條平行線, 繩子的交集也就是你們之間相遇的記號, 而我則透過畫下你我之間相聯結的一個物件來記錄這個交集, 記錄下相遇的記號。
If two lines have an intersection point, which is a symbol of memorable sign between two persons, then they are no longer simply two parallel lines. In Memorable Sign, I created a space about memory, and recorded the memorable signs. The sign is an object that combines two people together, and also strengthens their relationships. I invited people to draw their own signs and put them into my installation. Through collaborating with people in creating the signs, viewers can resonate better with the installation, and also get connected with other people’s world.
By allowing two individuals to choose two objects on the screen, their choices will be combined and linked to one of my memory clips for displayed.
Invite people to create their own “memorable sign”
Memorizing a person that has a relationship with you. “The Person” can be a friend, a lover, a family member, or even your pet. First, I invited people to draw down an “object” that symbolized the person he or she was closely related to. After the drawing, I asked people to write down the story between them. Through the invitation, more than 500 people participated in the Memorable Sign project.

Interactive Installation
This is a sound device creation inspired by time. In our life, time often plays the role of a thief; it steals our youth and memories. When we stop and stare at or focus on certain things, time flies without notice. We are all sitting in front of the turbulent flow; we watch, we see the crash, but we can do nothing.
My concept is to create a mini world on my installation and protect the walking people on it. On top of the people, the pole swings from one side to another side without any emotion. On the other hand, I want to create a squeeze space by using projection on a piece of cloth. The video that has been projected is about the shadow of people and it was made to the scale of 1:1. By comparing the real world and the mini world, the audience can experience different perspectives. They can jump out from the mini world to see the people who are living in the real world, people who are living under Time.

The Second Skin 第二層皮膚
This is a wind and light installation, and the concept develops from my skin condition. Suffering from serious atopic dermatitis, I need to apply moisturizing lotion to protect my skin daily, which I symbolize as my second skin. The second skin connects to my body and opens a protective net for me. Based on the experience, I create a space for viewers to explore the texture and the sense of security that composed with a very light and thin cloth. After accessing to the second skin, with the cloth coating the head, the light will illuminate on the top of your head while the cloth waving in a soft and graceful way, which symbolizes that the second skin is continuously lasting.

Self Conversation 囈語
In this work, I used a loudspeaker to symbolize an individual self. When people came through the loudspeaker, it would drop positive words showing the person’s inside world. On the contrary, if people were far away from the loudspeaker, it would drop negative words. This work is trying to talk about the self-conversation in our mind. By having dialogue constantly, people can know more about themselves.
