  • Depiction:
    The artist crafted eight pairs of life-sized ceramic legs, surrounding a central figure (the protagonist), with different outfits distinguishing their identities (the supporting characters). These bodies, dressed in narrow skirts, create the illusion of doppelgängers of the same character. A layer of fresh red clay is spread across the exhibition floor to symbolize human struggles within the mundane world. Inspired by the framing techniques in film and television, the artist aims to evoke a visual overlap between the three-dimensional sculptures and two-dimensional imagery, encouraging viewers to experience the sensation of the sculptures being "cut" by the frame. The piece is placed on a wooden stage, elevating the ceramic sculptures to eye level. The clean geometric lines on all sides are intended to enhance the effect of cinematic framing. As viewers walk around and observe the work, they become part of the unfolding story themselves.
