Experiencing the Separation of Consciousness III/Contrary of Symbiosis/Half-body Person/Eye Tree/Untitled ( Hand)

“My work addresses people. While I provide a subjective analysis of the true side of me, I also reflect objectively on how the outside world connects with, influences, collides with, and twists my inner self.
Through her work, Lu Yen-Yu depicts a psychological state that wavers between the moment of progressive breakthrough and the maintaining of the status quo. Without consciousness, our rational thinking fails to keep up with the complexities of human nature, the result of which is self-contradiction and internal conflict, and that in turn becomes many mutually opposing states.
The artist states that change is inevitable. Be it the ideal state in which we are granted self-determination, or just the opposite, in which we become the object of self-criticism, change is an ongoing process.
Lu sees the creative process as one comprised of visual images. By capturing every stage of it, she projects a solid image that depicts self-reflection.
