My creation this time focuses on the expression of emotions, rather than the discussion of problems and opinions. I used to use oil paintings to discuss problems, such as the relationship between human and nature or people. This time I'm thinking about emotions. Everyone in modern society is busy with life, stress, anxiety, these emotions are often ignored by us. In fact, everyone has emotions, having emotions is not a bad thing. Confronting emotions is what we should do. Everyone's daily life is busy, filled with work, study and social activities, just like I use my phone whenever I have free time. But when I brush my teeth every day, for three or five minutes, I can do nothing, just repeat the action, and then concentrate on thinking about what happened today, or recalling a certain emotion that I was feeling. Then in the moment of spit out the toothpaste foam, the end of the brushing and also the end of thinking. Then I stare at the toothpaste foam that comes out, as if all the emotions are contained in the bubble, maybe the bubble looks like something, maybe it has the color of the emotions, and then I draw it into a little sketch, and I write down the emotions to the side, as a diary for each day.
We use our mouths to talk, eat, transmit viruses, and export emotions. It even contains the DNA of each of us. When I spit out the toothpaste foam, I also spit out a small part of myself. It could also be said that the shape in which I spit out the toothpaste foam is determined by my DNA. So when I see the toothpaste foam, it is the shape or color that I think it looks like, which most directly reflects my emotion just now.
I hope my work can make the audience understand that they can face their emotions, even if only with a little courage, even if it is only for three minutes to brush their teeth. This is our best chance to find ourselves in the harsh reality of society. It can be a three-minute romantic dream, it can be a three-minute healing of inner pain, it is the beginning of a reconciliation with yourself, is everyone's only way. There are a lot of people who talk about emotions. If I have to say what's different from them, I'm more affectionate.
