Being a foreigner from Taiwan, sometimes I feel I am like an errant alien in the U.S. I am still leading a vagrant life to pursuit my goal and look for my destination. Through a humorous and teasing way, it presents how I look different from and how I exist between others in a Western society. The SUV covered with pink Chinese brocade symbolizes myself, a Taiwanese girl, whose exterior looks meek but who is very strong inside. Even my appearance is Chinese (Taiwanese), but the way to make a living is Western. This pink-covered SUV is a funny and strange character between other cars. It looks fake, but it is functional; it is a real car, but it is covered. It conveys my contradiction and ignorance as a foreigner. Through the photography, it expresses a continuing vagrant journey.
＊especially thanks to Alan Krause and Fran Krause supporting the SUV＊

身為一個在美國的台灣人，常覺得自己像個流浪在外的異鄉人，過著漂泊不定的生活，不斷地尋找自己的目標和目的地。在我生活的環境裡，我經常是那“唯一的”台灣女孩，離開台灣越久，我卻越想念自己成長的家園和文化。透過一種幽默和調侃自嘲的方式，詮釋一個東方女性在西洋社會裡是如何的與眾不同，我選擇了粉紅色旗袍布代表台灣年輕女性的形象，象徵自己─一個來自台灣、東方文化背景的女孩。
柔軟的旗袍布下包覆著剛硬的車體，象徵著外柔內剛的特質，外表柔弱卻要獨自勇敢堅強地去生活。東方式的旗袍布包覆著西方的休旅車，猶如我自己有著東方人的膚色和外在，卻過著西洋式的生活。粉紅休旅車看起來與眾不同，卻有著與其他車相同的功能，然而真實的車體被旗袍布包裹著、令駕駛無法看清前方無法隨心所欲的操控，表達了我在異鄉對許多事情的無知和內心的矛盾。
透過攝影和行動藝術的方式，將作品帶入我在美國的生活中，記錄不同的片段和情緒，呈現了我遠離家園，仍不斷地在異鄉流浪的過程。
＊特別感謝 Alan Krause 和 Fran Krause 提供SUV＊

Being a person who is traveling and residing far away from home, I have had a strong unstable and unsteady feeling in my mind.
I used Chinese fabric to make organic floating sculptures to symbolize myself.
The Western garden and fountain are a metaphor for the Western environment where I am staying now.
I'm like a duckweed.
I don't know where I'm going.
I'm just floating and drifting by the wind.

The suitcase covered with the fabric of Chinese traditional pattern makes it a metaphor of me who comes from Chinese culture background and who is overseas. I have been deeply influenced by Chinese culture and now I learn and absorb American culture. These two cultures arouse a strong culture shock in my mind. The wires covered with Chinese and English newspapers entangle with each other and burst from the suitcase. It seems that my thoughts are mixed with Chinese and English and these two thoughts produce a colorful shock.

Because of a dream--- I left home and crossed over the Pacific Ocean.
Because of a dream--- I brought my art supplies with me to come to the USA to pursue my art career.
The art box covered with traditional Chinese fabric is a symbol of me as a girl from Taiwan, and the shining pillow is another metaphor of my strong desire to be a great artist.
