I have a habit of peeling my finger skin. Many people think it’s because I feel stressed, which is true, but sometimes it also brings me a sense of healing. To stop myself from peeling, I apply nail polish on my hands sometimes. I think this can help people to overlook the scars on my hands and give me a moment of peace in a stressful life, thus promoting my mental healing. Sometimes, I observe the dead skin I peel off. They feel light, like flower petals. They create beauty in my unease. As a result, I made two drawings, one showing the act of polishing my skin, and the another one is a flower made of my dead skin. 

The artwork is about how I enjoy adding sounds to my dolls. When I add sounds to the dolls, I have to unravel the stitching, which always causes a messy working environment. This mess makes me think of the crime scene in the movie. The doll looks like it has been murdered by me. It made me want to draw the mess. I tried to capture more of the sewing tools around the doll, so I decided to ignore the doll in the picture. The doll was violently disassembled, encouraging people to imagine the missing space.  

The main theme of my work is to use the surroundings and traces of daily life to tell the story of anxiety. I have a habit of peeling my hands, and I like to observe the dead skin that I peel off. The lightness of the dead skin is like a flower petal and I appreciate each of them. Whenever I’m anxious, I unconsciously peel off my finger skin, even in a safe place like home. I wanted to draw scenes where I often feel anxious, such as my desk, bed, and toilet. Nighttime is the time that I tend to peel my skin. Therefore, each picture shows a big contrast between the light and the dim environment.
