I would like to use this series of video works to respond the human conditions nowadays. We are now living in a world that is full of uncertainty and insecurity; there are no ultimate definitions for us to follow. Our lives are full of multiplicities and possibilities. But until the point, we may ask about the meanings of the supposed standards, as well as the influences and burdens from history. The individuals are isolated from the uncertain surroundings; they may have the feelings of nihility and insecurity. The only method to conquer these situations is to confirm and confront them.
I would like to outline our feelings of hope, desire, fear, anxiety and doubt etc., in order to ask the audiences to rethink the meaning of our existences.
