To remove the back means using our gaze as a pair of scissors to isolate a silhouette from the entire world. This is an ambiguous cancellation, a loving gaze that cannot be rejected by others, an independence that exists because of the observer. Once out of the sight of love, it loses its shape, becoming a vague, neither living nor dead, as unique as everything else, and therefore without any special state.
Collage means that we need to address not just spatial issues, but perspective. From my perspective, I look towards you, shifting until I see a complete composition, a vision, that includes you. Within that image, there are many objects that appear to be framed with you, seemingly accidentally attached to you. This is all from my perspective. In reality, if you change your position, there's still a lot of distance between you, between you and all the objects. Perhaps you're blocked by certain objects, but behind this obstruction, hidden by the objects and space, lies the object that truly connects you.
The juxtaposition of image and text is about the interweaving of narratives. Interpreting and engaging in dialogue with the collage creates a new path, a three-dimensional shadow separating the reverse side of the collage. Though standing at a designated position, a sharp gaze follows the contours of the edge, cutting out the object of attention once again. The narrative language is both a pair of scissors, yet it also circles around to the reverse side, becoming a smear of glue.
The dictionary's definition of pictorial symbols, and the narratives derived from these definitions, creates a new system for all collages. After guiding the viewer through the creation process, the remaining energy can be repurposed for power generation: "fear" finds a container, desire finds an outlet, and "shyness" becomes a result that can be revealed, frame by frame. As a product, whether in its manufacture or selection, it is inevitably drawn from the past. In this present moment, without evidence, I can take a deep breath in the gap between expression and reception. At the same time, we will also learn that an inorganic, two-dimensional medium can also become an organic, three-dimensional stage for emotion.
Then, then we finally felt that we could love each other well.
