The internet slang term fat hai (佛系) refers to a lifestyle attitude that emphasizes being easygoing, not forcing things, and maintaining a tranquil state of mind towards events. This approach to life embodies a kind of spiritual freedom where the heart remains calm regardless of external changes and one can always remain calm, like a temple unaffected by the outside world. 

My art explores fat hai through the ceramic arts, embodying my emotional journey from seeking tranquility to embracing imperfection. Initially, ceramics offered a sense of relaxation and tranquility. However, the challenges of controlling the medium led to tensions, unexpected results, and pre-firing anxiety. I realized the need to relinquish attachment and accept imperfections, embodying the “just let it be” attitude. 

Fat hai is visually represented in this series through expressionless, comforting forms, thus extending the concept from ceramics to life itself. These pieces serve as a reminder to seek inner peace amidst the chaos of modern life. I hope viewers will simply observe these tranquil forms without overthinking and hopefully experience a sense of calm and healing.  

網絡流行術語「佛系 Fat6 Hai6」代表一種生活態度，強調隨和與不強求，並對事物保持淡然的心境。這是一種心靈的自由，無論外界環境如何變化，內心始終能保持平靜，如同一座不受外界影響的寺廟。 

作品以陶瓷為媒介，探索「佛系 Fat6 Hai6」的概念，反映了我從追求寧靜到擁抱不完美的心路歷程。最初，我認為陶瓷是一種療癒，但隨後發現它也充滿挑戰。我意識到需要放下執念，接受不完美。這系列作品以無表情的舒適與放鬆，視覺化地呈現「佛系 Fat6 Hai6」，將此概念從陶瓷延伸至生活本身，提醒我們在繁忙生活中尋找內心的寧靜。我希望觀者能夠單純地觀察這些寧靜的形態，無需過度思考，並體驗到平靜與療癒。
