《作繭（自負）自縛》
在我的認知裏，只有經歷強大的個人感受，創造出來的東西才能稱為作品。其餘的，只能叫做勞力生產。我們這個時代，藝術家總是自負卻也存在著自卑。一方面想要表達屬於自己風格的作品，但另一方面又極需跟隨金錢主義或藝術權威的認同。為了換取生存或者影響力，大量的生產大眾藝術。曾讀到《紐約時報》藝術批評家Holland Cotter在一篇評論寫的：「藝術產業意味着高價畫廊、拍賣行與掌握藝術市場的收藏家們之間的聯繫，而藝術市場又以充斥各種來路不明的錢而出名。從權力的角度來說，權力分配的比例是顛倒的，以至於藝術界的基本功能已經淪為勞動力源頭。」這樣下的生態使得藝術失去了本質，不斷的冒出相似的作品。從開頭，到上台演出是如此做作。而我非常的害怕自己會沉於這樣的循環感但不自知。我開始回想初衷。對於人生中出現的每一個決定、每一條緊拉著不放手的線索。每一顆又一顆的生命。是獨立個體卻又必須相依互存。那一次不是小心翼翼抽出一絲又一絲對創作（生命）的尊重，最後慢慢出現人生樣貌的雛型，使終，將會是個「圓」。每一顆扭蛋，十元硬幣賣出。向草間1965行為致意。草間彌生參加的威尼斯雙年展《自戀庭園》。塑膠材質的鏡面球。

Building One’s own Cocoon(and Pride)To me, a work of art is not true art unless it arose from his or her stance. Otherwise, it should only be titled as a commercial product. We live in an era in which artists live with pride as well as lack thereof. On one hand, we wish to present our own styles, but on the other, we have to pursue recognition from either commercial success or the approval of an authority in art. In order to gain popularity or influence, many have to incorporate with the demands and the trends of market. I once read an article from the New York Times’ art critic Holland Cotter: “The art industry is the nexus of high – price galleries, auction houses and collectors who control an art market renowned for its scams and cap ital. games ...in terms of power, the proportions are reversed, to the degree that the art world basically functions as a market of artists’ labors.” Such environment has influenced art from its true nature, from the prelude to the actual show, it is not genuine. I fear so much that I may fall into such a routine without even knowing it. I started my journey back to where I started. For every decision, every thread I cannot let go. And for each capsules of life. They are independent, yet they rely on one another to survive. Strings after strings of respect of life (and of art creation) were peeled, and finally, the prototype of life is formed, it started, and ended, as a cocoon. Capsules are sold for NT$10 each. Tributes to Kusama’s work in 1965. Yayoi Kusama’s Narcissus Garden in the Venice Biennial. Mirrored plastic spheres.
