【Description】
Mimicry is continuously completing in the process of evolution, and many animals or plants are able to eliminate the possibilities of being caught by their natural enemies due to their similarity of the outlook to other spices or the living environment and protect themselves. Mimicry in living forms, such as insects changing their body color with the environment or lights, limpid is also a form of disguise as well, and you can see it in Cithaerias aurorina and a lot of young fish. In this artwork, the artist is trying to reflect the interaction of people and environment as well as the influence of environment to people through the mimicry of living forms as their self-protective instinct. It’s wondering in different circumstances or simply existed, mixed, mingled, co-existed and not disturbing, living in defensive-oriented material and industrial environment, such as window, door, tile and wall. It is the image of passive and non-invasive space, which the artist used to discuss the group recognition, the compromise or adjustment to social environment and self-awareness by eliminating inner conflicts and contradictory emotions and the transformation of time and space, to reconsider the relationship between people and its existence in a rather distant angle.
