In The Second Embrace
2022，6.2ft tall Wearing Device, made with canvas

Inspiration:

We often question ourselves in loneliness and self-inhibition. Whether it is a personal problem or not, we end up shouldering the problem onto ourselves.

Loneliness is like a raft in the ocean, the raft rises and falls in the water, it has no anchor.

​

Thoughts:

The second time we embrace ourselves, it is like having a anchor. Self-comforting, self-embracing, self-accepting.

Research has shown that the skin is self-aware, self-growing, and a self-reproducing organ. Even without control from the brain, skin cells can still adjust to different circumstances. The skin is like our second self; it is trying to adapt to the environment and is ever changing. “Skin” is the one that hugs us and protects as like an armor.
