Still Life series - Expressed through Objects

Experiences of events and life establish our outlook on life, and begin to also generate emotional connections with objects, as if the past is condensed in specific objects, from a pencil case used since childhood, to an old houseplant, a favorite cup, and even memories of the changing seasons. This series gives meaning to objects, such as: airtight jars, with the function of conservation, however when connected to blooming flowers, take on the meaning of retaining youth. Another example is a wine glass filled with wine, often in celebration or in sadness. Putting flowers in it gives it the meaning of being intoxicated with youth, with life passing every moment. The “present” includes the “past” and the “future.” I often include my hopes and expectations for the future in my work, such as hyacinths that are about to bloom, or roses in full bloom but are about to wither, or flowers on the verge of wilting. Everything is surprising and unpredictable. The objects in the image are like actors on stage, improvising.

靜物系列 - 借物抒情

人因為經歷過許多事件、生活上的經歷,慢慢會建立一些人生觀,也開始會對生活中的一些物品產生情感的連結,彷彿過往的時光都濃縮在些特定物件之上,可能是從小到大的鉛筆盒、種植很久的植物、某個喜歡的杯子、甚至對於四季更迭產生回憶,而這個系列就是將物件賦予意義,比如:密封罐,有保鮮的作用,但其與盛開的花朵連結後就成為想留住青春的綜合意義,又例如:酒杯,裝盛著酒,往往出現在歡慶或者悲傷的情緒之中,將花朵放入其中後賦予它沉醉於青春的意義,且生命在時間流逝的每一刻都是不同的,時間的“當下”包含著“過去”以及“未來”,有時我將對未來的好奇心以物件安排在作品中,含苞待放的風信子、盛開以致走向凋零的玫瑰、即將落下的花朵,一切是如此驚奇且無法預測,物件在畫面中有如演員在舞台上,正在即興演出。
