作品敘述
《Boxed》系列隱喻了人們從孩童時代到成人時期，在「盒子」中成長的經驗。該系列描繪的空間概念既代表著掙扎和約束，也同時被視為安全空間。老虎扭曲的身體是掙扎，也可以是釋放。雖然老虎可能會被周遭環境束縛，但其凶猛的姿態展現出它願意與這些限制對抗並超越它們。我希望傳達老虎複雜的情感和經歷，並邀請觀眾反思自己與限制抑或自由的關係。系列作品鼓勵挑戰我們先入為主的觀念，期望再狹窄的「盒子」都能成為成長和轉變的契機。
My painting is part of a series that explores the theme of confinement and freedom. The painting is a metaphor for how people are often put into boxes, both as children and as adults, and how we can grow into and out of those spaces. While some of the boxes and spaces depicted in the series may represent struggle and constraint, others can be seen as safe spaces that offer a sense of security and comfort.In this particular painting, the abstract tiger's contorted body can be interpreted as both a struggle and a release. While the tiger may feel trapped and constrained by its physical environment, its fierce expression suggests a willingness to fight against those limitations and push beyond them.I aim to convey the complex emotions and experiences of the tiger, and to invite viewers to reflect on their own relationship to confinement and freedom. The series as a whole encourages us to challenge our preconceptions about space and to see even the most confining of boxes as opportunities for growth and transform.
