The title of my exhibition is “Our generation”. The reason why I chose to
explore this topic is because of my understanding and experiences in my
lifetime. Our generation has experienced something so new and unique
compares to older generations. As technology developed, with the creation
of the internet, the collision of cultures, the risen of globalization. Our ideas
and understanding have become very different compare to our parents or
elders. From my high school period, I have experienced global education
and compares with traditional Chinese culture I learned from my parents,
there is a collision of ideas and concepts. And also many memorable
experiences in my school life make me want to show my understanding of
our youngsters’ feelings in life. We are such an interesting generation since
there is more attraction in our lives, internet, freedom in all ways, wearing of
clothes, love bonds, and accessibility to games. However, we grew much
quicker in some way compares to elders, and our minds could be
challenged with more negative feelings which we cannot sustain. I want to
use my works to be the bridge to connect all generations together, to let
everyone knows us more.

This piece talks about the feelings of isolation comes from our soul. This is
common to us, the young generation. We chose to ignore or refuse the love
from the family. Ironically, at the same time we seek and desperate for comfort
crowd, we tried to fit in to groups of people, but the loneliness would not
disappear. We should look up and see the burning warmness from our family,
because they are the only one who are willing to sacrifice anything for you.

YOU

This is me, but also you. We are living in such a free
world, less restrictions but more attractions. We would
be lost in this freedom, we are experiencing the same
amounts of sadness and happiness as the older them,
but in a very different way. Find the one that has not
change, it’s you. The you inside the body, the glowing
one, that person will leads you to the way out.
LOVE IS EASY

Love is easy, in a way of physically, compares to now
and before. But it distanced the real connection
between couples. We are lingering, no more sharing
in feelings but only senses. Kissing, hugging or
making love become the thing on the first date. Is it
love or just relationships, where is the purity?
