Do you have body fluid?

Inner Landscape-colorful part
March, 2008, acrylic & latex on wood panel

Actually, my "Flow series" started from this piece "Inner Landscape."
Nobody knows these semi-liquid body fluid coming from where, but I know they want to ingulf everything, including you and me. I enjoy on these automatic process and unpredictable result.

What are you doing? Kids...

Flow series no.3-Teletubbies
December, 2007, acrylic & latex on paper

Under the innocent appearance, there are large amount of nasty desire growing. When they can not feel satisfied, they will eat and play with their excrement. it may be disgusting for us, but it's the luxurious treasure for them.

Are you bad students?

Flow series no.1-Bad Students
December, 2007, acrylic on paper

I want to do something bad, but I am afraid of being punished. So, I pretend I am an excellent, cute and well behavior student. Under my colorful, sugar-coated appearance, no body will doubt me. Would you?

Shearing your beard..

Flow series 6-Shearing Beard

February, 2008, acrylic on paper

Standing in front of the mirrior, I used my father's shave to mimic him, shearing my illusional beard.

However, no matter how hard I tried, I still could not achieve it. What I got are just foam, blood, and frustration.

Where are you from?

Where are you from?
Everytime, when people ask me this sentence, I always feel unsettled, nervous and confused. It is really hard to convey or convince other people where or what "Taiwan" is. Because even askimg myself, I don't know where I come from.

I admit I was born in Taiwan, a familar but far away island. I had ever had strong belief in our political position, but now I doubt..

When I sat in the local elementary school and watched the Caucasian teacher taught African-American kids "Who are our American Heroes?" for the first time, I felt deeply depressed. Because I don't know who is my "Hero?" or do we believe the "Hero?"
