My practice intervenes in space through moving image, sound, painting, and everyday objects. I explore how political narratives and structures of power seep into everyday family and interpersonal relationships. I describe this condition as “relational entropy”: a state in which emotional expression loses its function, memory becomes fragmented and unstable, and internal contradictions emerge beneath a surface of harmony.
I grew up in post-martial-law Taiwan, in a society caught between the Greater China narrative and the frictions of democratization. This background, along with the contradictions within my own family, forms the entry point for my understanding of these conditions. In my experience of growing up, care and obedience often existed together within family relationships, and were entangled with a great-nation sentiment carried by the migration memories of the 1949 Chinese Civil War. This overlap between kinship and collective consciousness made me sensitive to the ways language, power, and emotion shift and become entangled over time.
My early graffiti practice as Candy Bird continues to shape my understanding of walls, surfaces, and public space as places where social memory, local history, and everyday power relations can appear in indirect forms. This site-responsive approach now extends into moving image, sound, painting, objects, and spatial installations. I often cover or partially rewrite existing sites while retaining their original functions, allowing a shift in meaning to take place within the space itself. I extract fragments of language from everyday conversations and reorganize them into sound and visual structures. These fragments are placed alongside family archives, hand-drawn memories, and industrial products carrying political symbols. Through the tension between materials, images, sound, and space, I build unstable spatial languages and permeable structures of intimacy, in order to reveal, unsettle, and deconstruct the ways geopolitics intervenes in everyday relationships and historical residues continue to shape the present.
我的創作透過整合影像、聲音、繪畫與日常物件去介入空間，探討政治敘事與權力結構如何滲入日常家庭和人際關係。我將這種狀態描述為一種「關係熵」（relational entropy）：情感表達失效，記憶碎片化且不穩定，和諧表面顯露內在矛盾。我成長於解嚴後的台灣社會；一個夾在大中華敘事與民主化進程之間的環境，而原生家庭內部的矛盾，促使我去理解這些狀態。在成長經驗中，家庭成員之間同時存在關懷與服從，並與 1949 年中國內戰後遷徙記憶的大國情懷相互疊合。這種親屬關係與集體意識之間的交疊，使我敏感於語言、權力與情感在流變過程中的交纏。
從早期作為 Candy Bird 的塗鴉實踐，持續形塑我將牆面與各類型空間，視為集體記憶、歷史、權力關係和日常生活以間接形式顯現之場所。這種現地回應（site-responsive）的手法，如今延伸至動態影像、聲音、繪畫、物件與空間裝置中。我透過局部改寫或覆蓋既有場域，並在保留其原始功能的同時，讓意義的偏移在空間內部發生。我從日常對話中擷取語言碎片，並將其重組為聲音與視覺結構。這些碎片與家庭日常的紀錄、手繪的記憶，以及帶有政治符號的工業製品並置。透過媒材與空間之間的張力，我建立不穩定的空間語言與具滲透性的親密結構，試圖揭示和解構地緣政治如何干預日常關係，以及歷史殘影如何持續形塑當下。
