The silent distortion occurs when the individual becomes the inadvertent architect of their own constraint. Assimilation: the quiet, daily violence of sculpting one’s own fluidity to satisfy normative pressures. The subject usually intertwines with the immigrant experience in the USA, the internal landscape of the female identity, and the radical reclamation of existential self-mastery in the modern era.
Through a visual language of self-representation, stiffened chiffon, and plaster, these works document the tension between the fragile humanity of the breathing self and the rigid structures of an unyielding mask of compliance. Between the shifting folds, the viewer is invited to witness the quiet resilience of a self that refuses to be fully contained.
我的創作關注於一種無聲的扭曲: 當個體不自覺地成為自身束縛的建築師時,所產生的內在異變。對我而言,同化(Assimilation)並非僅是文化適應,而是一種寂靜的、日常的暴力;是為了滿足規範壓力,而不斷修剪、塑形自我流動本質的過程 。這份作品集深深刻畫了美國移民經驗、女性身份的內在景觀,以及在現代社會中對存在自主權的激進奪還 。
