‘Shadows of Resilience' is a sculptural work that merges experimental materials with a personal emotional narrative. Utilizing the contrast between the rigid structure of 3D-printed nylon and the soft tactility of food-grade silicone, the piece explores the profound relationship between resilience and fragility through interlaced folds and smooth surfaces. Using the texture of life as a metaphor, it depicts the reshaping of emotion, pain, and identity under external pressures. The work invites the audience to reconsider how the “self,” formed within societal contexts, coexists with and contends against reality, finding personal answers within the dialectic of strength and shadow.  

《韌》是一件融合實驗性材質與個人情感敘事的雕塑作品。作品運用3D列印尼龍的剛硬骨架與食品級矽膠的柔軟觸感形成強烈對比，透過複雜摺痕與光滑表面的交織，探索韌性與脆弱之間微妙而深刻的關係。以生命質地為隱喻，作品描繪了在外部壓力下，情感、痛苦與身份認同經歷重塑的歷程。觀者透過材質的物質性，得以重新審視社會環境中形成的「自我」如何與現實力量共存抗衡。在韌性與陰影的辯證關係中，作品尋求存在命題的個人解答。 

This work consists of 8 miniature canvases depicting skin textures—scars, bruises, and tooth marks—traces usually associated with violence. However, from the artist’s perspective, these marks symbolise a deeply private intimacy. Touching a partner's scars is not a sensation of pain, but an encounter with their past and the trust formed through vulnerability. Each canvas is coated in a layer of wax, as if sealing this intimacy. The wax surface appears soft yet remains untouchable, keeping desire at the boundary and creating a “forbidden tenderness” that is both protected and concealed. The entire work serves as a “body archive,” documenting how emotion and desire settle on the skin to be perceived and preserved between two people.  

這組作品由八幅描繪肌膚紋理的微型畫布組成，記錄著通常與暴力相關的痕跡——增生性疤痕、瘀傷、咬痕與創口。然而透過藝術家的視角，這些印記象徵著深刻親密的情感連結：觸碰伴侶的傷疤並非感知痛苦，而是觸及對方過往，並在脆弱中建立信任。藝術家於畫布表面覆蓋半透明蠟層，彷彿封存這份親密。蠟質看似柔軟卻堅不可摧，既阻隔了慾望的侵擾，又構築出受保護的隱秘「禁忌柔情」。整件作品猶如「身體檔案庫」，記錄情感與慾望如何沉澱於肌膚，在兩人之間被感知與珍視。 

This work shifts the focus from the physical body to the generative mechanisms of language and subjectivity. It unfolds as a dual interview between the artist and an AI-generated version of the “self.” Answering the same set of identity-focused questions, the juxtaposition of these two voices reveals the tension between authenticity and performance, and between self-expression and algorithmic mapping. Within this mirrored dialogue, a central question emerges: in an age of high technological intervention, which version of the “I” is closer to the truth? Or is “truth” itself merely an illusion constructed through machine echoes and algorithmic patterns? The work leads the audience to contemplate the edges of subjectivity in the digital era.

本作品將視角從肉身轉移至語言與主體性的生成機制。它以藝術家與人工智慧生成之「自我」的雙重訪談形式展開：雙方針對同一組關於身份認同的提問作出回應。透過並置這兩種聲音的交疊與分歧，作品揭示了真實性與表演、自我表達與演算法映射之間持續存在的張力。在這場鏡像對話中，藝術家提出核心命題：當代高度科技中介的世界裡，哪個版本的「我」更貼近真相？抑或所謂「真相」本身，不過是機器迴響與演算法構築的幻象？作品邀請觀者共同思索數位時代主體性的邊界。
