The author's works revolve around the inseparable relationship between people and spaces, aiming to redefine one's position in the world through observation and experience. The works portray modern spaces and the interaction between individuals and their surroundings, documenting the virtual and real lives that people encounter in the 21st century. The creative process involves altering the way people perceive and interact with their environment, inspiring a fresh perspective on their surroundings.
The focus of the works lies in places where personal connections and emotional bonds. Observations from daily life catalyze the development of the "Lost Boundaries" series. It all began with the author's family elders residing on Turtle Island, and as they moved their lives to Renze New Village in Yilan, Daxi Fishing Harbor, and Nanfang'ao, the artist employs various techniques to present subtle changes within these spaces that often go unnoticed. These changes could be attributed to the shifting of locations or the emotions and memories that dwell within the individuals.
