Embrace the Imperfect Character

Intro:
Flowers, plants, insects, and animals easily compete and blossom the beauty of life in the survival of the fittest. Human beings with complex brains have slowly forgotten their way back to their inner peace and got lost in the urban jungle of civilization.

Taiwan is an island between subtropical and tropical, and the impact of climate change has entered a state of long summer. Unbearable hot and humid climate, crazy low pressure, and scorching sunlight in summer make our bodies feel the sticky feeling brought by humidity and sultry heat, just like the suffering we have from work and people’s words every day. The pressure from colleagues, friends, and families makes us suffocate and unable to breathe.

Have we forgotten the most primitive and straightforward appearance? We are bound by society, the secular, the pursuit of fame and fortune, and various additional values. Moreover, we forget to enjoy our appearance, praise the beauty that our parents have provided us, and gradually drown in the eyes of others and are unable to breathe. People should respect their natural contours, face imperfections, appreciate their strengths, and embrace themselves.

Breeze Shih used the meteorological conditions of summer to portray and echo the sources of stress and used the animals and plants to symbolize the uniqueness of creatures in this exhibition. She used repeated watercolor stacking, the combination with photos, and output techniques to create the visual experience. She hoped that the viewer could find their familiar and authentic appearance in reality and the inner world of the self.

Through the image of the transformation of realities, raise a glass of cocktail and have a good chat with your inner soul, Cheers!
