在本次展覽中，我以「陰性溫柔」為核心概念，透過日常物件的轉化與象徵，探討女性在當代社會中所展現的複雜情感與內在力量。作品中選用蕾絲、玻璃、珍珠、梳子、鬥魚、蝴蝶等元素，這些看似脆弱卻蘊含韌性的意象，不僅承載了歷史與文化中對女性的想像，也成為筆者投射自我感受與生命經驗的載體。光線、色彩與質地的交織構築出介於夢境與現實之間的場域，使觀者能在視覺與情感之間產生連結，進而感知女性溫柔背後的多重層次與張力。希望藉由這些細緻卻強韌的物象，重新詮釋「溫柔」不再只是隱忍、服從的代名詞，而是一種積極、自我覺醒的力量。作品最終意在邀請觀者重新思考女性與「溫柔」之間的關係，並從中看見一種超越性別與時代的普遍情感經驗。

【靜謐・微光 Light in Tranquility 】

《靜謐・微光》延續並深化了我近年創作的脈絡。藉由姊姊與身邊女性朋友的故事進行投射與揣摩，拼湊出一種若即若離的情感經驗，使對女性身份的認知交織著模糊與追尋，既困惑又懷抱渴望。正是這種不明朗卻深刻的情感質地，使筆者在觀看與感知女性情感時更為敏銳，並在創作中捕捉那些難以言述卻深植於心的瞬間，藉由圖像語言進行細膩轉化與表達。
展覽源於我長期對溫柔多重性質的思考，將其從單一順從或被動的刻板形象中抽離，重新詮釋為一種隱約卻堅韌的生命質地，一種流動於矛盾與內在情感之間的力量。靜謐象徵一個能夠暫時屏除外界喧囂、傾聽自我內在聲音的心靈空間，而微光象徵經過暗夜後仍然留存的光點，隱含希望與韌性與持續閃爍的可能。
我以張愛玲《金鎖記》小說為文本，藉其多層次象徵與色彩探討女性物件的描繪，以折射筆者所處的時代背景與當代女性所面臨的挑戰。張愛玲筆下的女性形象在壓抑與矛盾之間掙扎，展現了傳統溫柔框架下的束縛與反抗，這種精神啟發筆者在創作中更深入地呈現女性如何掙脫社會既定目光，勇敢追尋自我與內在力量。
在視覺語言上，展覽將色彩視為情感與哲理的載體，透過光影與細節轉化，使觀者在視覺體驗中感受到女性堅韌與勇氣的脈動，並從中獲得積極面對生活挑戰的啟發。溫柔在此不僅是柔軟的情感，也是一種凝練的力量與態度，既可作為抵抗，也可作為修復，更是面對現實時的勇敢與超越。
造型與符號上，筆者持續選用女性物件作為隱喻。珍珠象徵夢想與自我內在的溫潤光澤，蕾絲傳遞細膩與防護之間的雙重意涵，鏡子既是觀看與被觀看的介面，也是自我反思的場所。這些物件經過重新構圖與轉譯，成為情緒與記憶的容器。畫面中偏低彩度與柔亮的明度處理，進一步凸顯靜謐的基調，使整體氛圍介於現實與夢境之間，如同潛意識的劇場片段，帶領觀者進入柔軟卻深刻的情感層次。
《靜謐・微光》希望呈現的不僅是女性形象的柔美，更是一種在困境與轉變中持續閃爍的能量。這種能量低調卻不容忽視，足以照亮自我，並成為觀者之間的情感共鳴。溫柔絕非軟弱的代名詞。真正的溫柔是一種源自愛與自省的力量，這力量非但不消極，反而展現出內心深處的堅定與勇氣，以及持續閃爍著的微光。

In this exhibition, I center on the concept of “feminine tenderness” to explore the complex emotions and inner strength of women in contemporary society through the transformation and symbolism of everyday objects. Elements in my works--such as lace, glass, pearls, combs, betta fish, and butterflies, which may seem fragile yet carry resilience. These images not only reflect cultural and historical ideas about women but also serve as vessels for my own feelings and life experiences.
The interplay of light, color, and texture creates a space between dream and reality, allowing viewers to connect visually and emotionally, and to sense the layered tensions behind the tenderness of femininity. With these delicate yet resilient objects, I aim to reinterpret “tenderness” not as a synonym for endurance or obedience, but as a force of proactivity and self-awareness. Ultimately, the artworks invite viewers to reconsider the relationship between femininity and “tenderness,” and to perceive it as a universal emotional experience that transcends both gender and time.

【 Light in Tranquility 】

Light in Tranquility continues and builds upon my recent artistic practice. By projecting and reflecting on the stories of my sister and female friends, I piece together an emotional experience that feels both near and distant. In this process, the idea of female identity becomes a mix of confusion and longing, uncertainty and searching. It is this unclear yet powerful emotional texture that makes me more sensitive when observing women’s emotions, and allows me to capture moments that are hard to put into words but stay deeply in the heart, then transform them into images.
The concept of this exhibition comes from my long-term reflections on the different sides of tenderness. I aim to reinterpret tenderness from the narrow image of obedience or passivity into a quiet but resilient quality of life—a force that flows between contradictions and inner emotions. Tranquility represents a spiritual space where one can set aside outside noise and listen to the inner voice, while light symbolizes the sparks that remain after darkness, carrying hope, resilience, and the possibility to keep shining.
In this series of works, it draws on Eileen Chang’s novel The Golden Cangue as its textual foundation, using its layered symbols and colors to explore how female objects are depicted. Through this, I reflect both the time I live in and the challenges faced by contemporary women. The women in Chang’s writing struggle between repression and contradiction, showing both restriction and resistance under the traditional frame of tenderness. This inspired me to explore more deeply how women break free from society’s fixed gaze and bravely pursue self and inner strength.
In visual language, I treat color as a carrier of both emotion and thought. Through the interplay of light, shadow in detail, I hope viewers can feel the rhythm of women’s resilience and courage, and find¬¬ inspiration to face life with strength. Here, tenderness is not only a soft sentiment, but also a concentrated force and attitude. It’s able to resist, to heal, and it can also be courage and transcendence when confronting reality.
In form and symbols, I continue to use feminine objects as metaphors. Pearls suggest dreams and the gentle shine of the inner self; lace carries both delicacy and protection; the mirror is a medium for both viewing and being viewed, and also a place for self-reflection. After being reframed and reinterpreted, these objects become containers of memory and emotion. The use of low saturation and soft brightness further highlights tranquility, placing the images between reality and dream—like fragments of a subconscious theater that lead viewers into layers of subtle yet deep emotions.
Light in Tranquility aims to show not only the gentle beauty of femininity, but also the energy that keeps shining through hardship and transformation. This is an energy that’s quiet yet impossible to ignore. It illuminates one’s inner self, as well as create resonance with others. Tenderness is never weakness. True tenderness is a strength born from love and reflection that shows inner courage and firmness, and the subtle light that continues to glimmer.
