Blank Series 002/Blank Series 011/Blank Series 014/Turning On the Defensive System When I Get Shocked

Artist Lai Yi-Chih knows how to combine and transform, adding new meanings to the insignificant things in life. In Turning On the Defensive System When I Get Shocked, the artist makes a pink heart out of plastic chains and floss picks. The heart is an analogy of the human mind that is at times self-restraining or defensive. Blank Series withdraws the settings and colors, leaving behind total blankness that marks the beginning of conscious exploration. White objects inspire viewers to think outside the box and come up with their own definitions, for art and life. It is time we opened our mind for reinterpretation and new ideas.
