I think my paintings are trying to show some very personal, but also full of realistic pain.
It can be regarded as a challenge, a challenge to face reality, to face all painful things.
Many women now choose to tolerate and forgive many things, whether it is psychological violence or physical violence. In parts of Asia, domestic violence and human trafficking continue to occur.
I once painted a series of works about patriarchy and dark marriages. When I showed these works to some male friends, they all showed incredible and incomprehensible expressions. It's not that they are touched by the pain and anger vented in my paintings, but an attitude of escape, because they don't believe that what happened to women still exists in this era.
I am indeed challenging an inherent concept, just like the problem that every artist will face, how to let the viewer see the emotions in the work, how to let them be forced to be brought into the emotions I created, and think , to reflect, that's what I'm trying to do.
It is also a self-challenge for me to use my own experience or the unfortunate experiences of many women as the subject matter. The flashing memories in the process of creation will cause me to fall into pain and short-circuit my thinking. I need to browse and read a lot of related reports and books. The more I understand, the more I can control my emotions rationally, so that I can analyze and understand the causes of all things from the perspective of others, and then use paintings to express them.
My works will be full of flesh, pain, and chaos, but there is also a sense of order that belongs to me.
This order comes from the sequence of events. For example, in the series 1 tablet for oral only, I used the packaging of contraceptives.
It came from a bad emotional experience of mine. When I realized that I was emotionally manipulated by the other party and suffered physical control, I tried to understand and trace back how it all happened. Raw.
I left the packaging of the medicine. This work is a commemoration, a scar, and a diary.
I found that in many emotional experiences, as a woman, I always become an appendage of the genitals, and "I" does not exist in the eyes of "them". Rather, it becomes a moving womb, an object. "He" will say "I want to mark you, I want you to belong to me" and then a short ejaculation, all this is just the man's self-satisfaction, he has successfully "conquered" me. At that moment I felt that I was not in my body. I was looking down on myself, my soul out of the body standing on top of the copulating body, my brain analyzing it all. When the other party triumphantly showed off some of his almost absurd masculine theories to me, I felt that my heart seemed to be filled with an emotion, not anger, but a sense of powerlessness. I don't think I can change him or interfere with him, without me he will just pollute the next or more women with his toxicity. I can only record my feelings in this way, let my womb melt on the small 10x10 canvas, like a pill swallowed from my mouth melts in my body.
