艺术家自述 Artist statement

一排空着的小凳子，用卫生纸沾水后一层层的包裹起来，湿了的卫生纸皱皱巴巴的，有某种情绪。把它们挂在墙上一排，白白的和墙融为一体。上面的文字是从《英汉辞典》上剪下来的从我的角度出发很情绪化的句子，“这个女孩爱上了这个男孩”,把椅子换个角度挂起来，包上纸，它变成了雕塑，而不是孩子们的凳子了，它们在等待着什么…

A row of empty stools, wrapped in toilet paper and covered with layers of water, the wet toilet paper is crumpled and has some emotion. Hang them in a row on the wall, white and white. The above text is a very emotional sentence cut from my point of view from the English-Chinese Dictionary. "This girl fell in love with this boy", hung the chair from another angle, wrapped it in paper, it became a sculpture. Instead of the children's stools, what are they waiting for...

坚持呈现自己生活中的真实情感，并创造恰当的艺术形式。提取日常生活中有深切体会的词汇和话语，探寻日常材料与文字情绪相对应的雕塑形式。把女性成长过程中身体和心理被压制的体验和感知，自然的渗透在材料的处理方式中，勾勒出当代女性面对现实困境的耐力和抵抗，搭建起与大众的生活经验共情的基座。

Insist on presenting the real emotions in one's own life and create appropriate art forms. Extracting words and discourses that are deeply experienced in daily life, we explore sculptural forms that correspond to the emotions of everyday materials and words. The experiences and perceptions of physical and psychological suppression during women's growth naturally permeate the material handling, outlining contemporary women's endurance and resistance in the face of real difficulties, and building a pedestal of empathy with the public's life experience.
