Room & Sight

Socialization is a stage that all people have to go through, and everyone existing in the society can't avoid the negation and recognition projected from the outside world.

Room is an individual space providing self-defense, and sight is others' judgment and aggression.

Projection & Recognition

Projection and recognition are inseparably interconnected.

We can't avoid receiving the projection, that is, evaluation, from the outside world, and we are eager to be recognized.

And meanwhile, we are constantly projecting our evaluation to the outside world. People are animals that can hardly face their shortcomings. We rely on external evaluation to gain a sense of self-determination and recognition. Projection and recognition are reflected in my works as sight. I put different eyes in every corner of the room. They represent peeping, staring, indifference sight, monitoring, contempt sight, etc., which are tightly wrapped around all aspects of our life.

Under the bondage of external sight and evaluation, people often can't feel safe even in their individual space.
