抉擇之屋，2021年，80x100厘米，布面油畫
Stakehouse is a repositioning and transformation of the intimate space which is the diner. It is produced in a dreamlike manner, using selective aquatic tones to represent an uncanny dream. I was also influenced by G.Batailles remarks on a society of consumption and loss. I observed that, to eat, interestingly, is to conserve and expend in the same time. On one hand, we are nurtured by the food, but, lives are lost, (animal, Plantae) the painting is a dream scene with wild species being served on a rotating sushi belt. It is a comment on choices and decisions. Will you take what’s offered or not? Are you willing to bare the consequences of overt consumption?
《抉擇之wu zi》是對親密空間——即餐館的重新定位和轉變。作品以夢幻般的方式創作，選用特定的水生色調來呈現一場詭異的夢境。我同時受到喬治·巴塔伊關於消耗與損失社會的評論的影響。有趣的是，我觀察到進食既是保存也是消耗的行為。一方面，我們通過食物獲得滋養，但另一方面，生命被奪走（動物、植物）。畫作呈現了一個夢境場景，野生物種在旋轉壽司帶上被供應，這是對選擇和決策的評論。你會接受所提供的還是拒絕？你願意承擔過度消耗的後果嗎？
