We're Down for Maintenance

​​

在準備這檔展覽的過程中，

原本覺得能夠梳理出什麼，

但整理之後變得更加矛盾與碰撞，

或許這樣的無解與混亂，

才是我想要說的吧。

​

我處在理性與感性的兩個極端，

理性分析平衡與不出錯的設定，

但情緒有時就是會走在前面，

以至於那個想和社會標準(系統設定)抵抗的自己，

在不斷抵抗、分身、迴避的狀態下解離再重生。

​

有人會覺得這樣的情緒，

畫面應該要是凌亂爆炸的，

對我來說，

那種像風和空氣一樣緩慢溫柔的侵蝕與包覆，

最能形容現今社會各種標籤與規範的不可抵抗感。

​

In preparing for this exhibition,

I initially believed I could untangle a clear narrative.

Yet, through the process of organizing and reflecting, the contradictions and collisions have only intensified.

Perhaps this very state of irresolution and chaos is exactly what I truly wish to convey.

​

I exist at the two extremes of rationality and sensibility.

My rational self analyzes boundaries to maintain balance and avoid error, yet emotion frequently takes the lead.

As a result, the part of me that strives to resist societal standards—the system's default settings—

is caught in a perpetual cycle of defiance, fragmentation,

and evasion, constantly dissociating and rebirth.

​

Some might expect these emotions to manifest as chaotic, explosive visuals.

For me, however, it is a slow, gentle erosion and

envelopment, like wind and air, that best encapsulates the irresistible weight of contemporary society's labels and norms.
