Solo Exhibition (Virtual)
Le monologue
8 February - 8 May 2022
Spatial
Twins have always been a wonderful existence. There are two such similar yet completely independent individuals in the world, contradicting each other but at the same time relying on each other. Regardless of the facial expressions or gestures, there is like another me in the world, as if there are two selves, the outer and inner selves, who are themselves but not themselves simultaneously. Only by having them at the same time can we have the deepest and naked dialogue with ourselves, and only through communication can we coexist permanently and safely.
Taking myself as the starting point, adding my own characteristics to the eight art pieces in the Le monologue series, and using self-portraits to interpret two similar but different selves, I am deeply inspired - Only you can define yourself. I Hope that this can be served as a starting point to lead everyone to return to themselves and reflect on who is the real self.
This exhibition will be held for the first time in a virtual space called Spatial. The reason why this virtual platform is selected and the "Non-Fungible Token" (NFT) is used as the medium is to correspond to the theme of the series Le monologue. Each NFT is an independent unit, just like every human being in the world, unique and irreplaceable. I hope everyone will be in the virtual venue and find their real self, looking at the virtual works.
雙生兒從來都是一個奇妙的存在,世上竟有兩個如此相像卻又完全獨立的個體,互相矛盾卻又同時互相依賴,無論是神情外貌或是舉手投足,都仿如世上的另一個我。這猶如外在和內心的那兩個自己,是自己卻又不是自己,只有同時擁有他們,才可能與自己展開最深層和赤裸的對話,亦只有溝通,才能恆久地、安然地共處。
今次從中受到的啟發,以自己作為出發點,於 Le monologue 系列八幅作品之中,加入自身的特點,利用自畫像去演繹兩個相似卻又不盡相同的自己,只有你才能定義你,希望藉此可以作為一個起點,引領大家回到自身去反覆思考哪個才是真正的自己。
是次 展覽將首次於網上虛擬空間 Spatial 舉行,選取虛擬的平台作為場地,並以「非同質化代幣」(Non-Fungible Token,簡稱 NFT)作為媒體,亦是對應了今次 Le monologue 系列的主題,每個 NFT 都是別具一格的獨立單位,猶如每個存在於世界上的人一樣,獨特而不可被取替。希望大家置身於虛擬的場地,看著虛擬的作品,尋回真實的自己。
Let’s sit down and talk about us.

You came to this world alone, but as long as you are willing, the ‘you’ who follow you like a shadow will protect you and cherish you. And that `you’, who may not necessarily be similar to you, will never turn your back on.
你是獨自的來到這個世界,但只要你願意,那個如影隨形的另一個你會保護你、愛惜你,而那個你,不一定跟你相似,但絕對不會背棄你。

I hope that you can know that the ‘you’, being exquisite in all aspects, are actually just a kindness released to the ever changing world. When society lets go of your shackles, don't forget to your true self.
希望你能知道那個八面玲瓏的你,其實僅僅是為了面對世界而釋出的善意。當社會對你的枷鎖放下時,別要忘記想起真正的自己。
Why strive for perfection? just be real.,

We separate at where we met

The world has always demanded us to be smart, upright and decent, to be flawless at all times. But you have to remember that the sometimes rational and sometimes emotional you, whether unfamiliar or familiar, are the self you have known for a long time.世界總是要求我們聰明正直,大方得體,無時無刻都要表現得完美無瑕。但你要記緊,那個時而理性、時而感性的你,無論陌生或熟悉,都是那個你已認識很久的自己。
You! Paint a better me.
