I salute to American flag, meanwhile I’m laughing at my choice. Why am I devotion to a country that doesn’t welcome me.
This 2 pieces are a miniature of my 2 years life in New York. Over the past 2 years, I have built a new life here, new phone number, apartment, bank account…etc. The more I settle into this system, the more I become aware of how fragile and uncertain my legal status is. This tension has become the core of my recent work.
I created a floor piece titled Path, made from printed visa application documents bound into ramp like structures. Viewers are invited to walk on top of them, experiencing a sense of imbalance and instability through their own bodies.
Another installation consists of a constructed wall using oriented strand board, where I embed multiple works. At its center is a piece referencing the American flag, I am smiling while saluting, yet internally questioning my decision to commit to a country that may not fully accept me. This work exists in two versions, day and night, reflecting the 12 hour time difference between New York and Taipei. The shifting time zones mirror my ongoing internal conflict, which does not resolve.
