Martyr’s Confession
Installation/ stainless steel/ fabric/ 500*500cm/ 2023

This installation focuses on the sacrifice of love. It is designed to reveal how love can diminish one's individuality. From my perspective, the splendor of love is but a fleeting illusion, under which lies despotism and violence. In light of this, I integrated the nature of such violence into my creative process to weave a transient love fantasy for the audience. What lies at the heart of this installation? The peak of love or the unveiling of violence? The answer is left for the audience to explore.
