創作自述
我以孩童塗鴉的方式表達幻想與現實之間的差距。我曾想像自己的生活會像白雪公主一樣美 好，但現實卻像是被迫生活在貧瘠之地的小矮人，成為像芙烈達·卡羅一樣優秀的藝術家夢想 成為敦促我精進的動力。我將這般處境注入泥土，後放入窯爐中燒製成陶瓷雕塑。
我選擇陶瓷是因為它天生具有雙重特性，它不僅呈現出美麗、擁有溫暖質感的燒製色澤，在堅固的外表背後，它內在是空且易碎的，反映出幻想與現實之間的差距性。我通過雕塑頭部，如孩童時玩娃娃，將自己投射在不同角色和心境的狀態。我讓這些娃娃雕塑像擁有粗糙的邊緣感和拙樸的外貌，並混合各種不和諧的色彩，如同孩童塗鴉般創造了她幻想的場景，儘管現實沒能實現，但在我的世界裡卻在視覺上實現了，希望能美麗地昇華因差距所經歷的種種悲傷。
Artist Note
I draw the gap between fantasy and reality in space as a child's graffiti. Life, which I imagined to turn out like that of Snow White, instead resembles that of a dwarf forced to live in a barren land, and the dream of becoming a wonderful artist like Frida Kahlo morphed into the endurance of the daily vagaries of life. I put this existential sorrow into clay and bake it in a kiln to create a ceramic sculpture.
I chose ceramics because of its inherent dual nature. It exhibits the beautiful, warm texture of baked colors. And yet, behind its sturdy look, it is empty inside and breaks easily, reflecting the gap between illusion and frustration. My primary means of expression is through sculpting heads, similarly to when I was playing with dolls as a child. I sculpt myself in different roles and states of mind. As if they were dolls, I give my sculptures rough edges and clumsy looks. I use a disharmonious blend of colors like a child's graffiti creating a mise-en-scène of her fantasy that never became. This realizes the dreams that cannot be achieved in the real world visually in my own world, and it sublimates the sadness that we experience through the gap more beautifully.
