This series of works uses Zentangle and installation art as mediums to explore "human fragility" and "why humans are not free," as well as the potential benefits and drawbacks of human genetic modification. Humans are, in fact, very fragile. Although modern society is highly developed, with far more abundant resources in terms of social welfare, healthcare, and the economy than in the past, and we seem able to do many things as we please, the body often limits our possibilities. Moreover, humans are not free — freedom has never been as simple as "doing whatever one wants." We have the ability to choose, but our choices are often constrained by the physical body. If humans possessed the genes of other animals, would that reduce the limitations imposed by the body, enabling us to do more? Because of my own personal experiences, I want to take this opportunity to explore human fragility and boundaries
本系列作品以裝置藝術與禪繞畫為媒介,探討「人類的脆弱」與「人類為何不自由」,並思考基因改造可能帶來的益處與弊端。
儘管當代社會文明發達,社會、醫療及經濟資源較過往豐富,人類能夠實踐的想法與行動亦日益多元,但身體仍然是限制我們自身可能性的重要因素。人類其實十分脆弱,而自由也從來不只是「想做便做」那麼簡單。我們雖然擁有選擇的能力,卻往往受制於身體的條件與局限。
假如人類擁有其他動物的基因,是否便能突破部分身體限制,實現更多原本無法達成的事情?然而,這種改變又會帶來甚麼代價與新的限制?
基於自身的經歷,我希望藉由本系列作品,探索人類的脆弱與身體的界限,並反思身體、選擇與自由之間的關係。
