The inspiration to make this piece came from a cardboard box. When I saw this cardboard box, I had the idea of hiding myself, as if hiding myself in a protective shell. My initial idea was to use the cardboard material to create a cylindrical structure that could be wrapped around my entire body, completely encasing myself in it.

However, during the process of creation, I gradually realised that if I reached out a hand from this closed structure, it would give me a sense of power to break through, as if I was breaking through the boundaries. This inspiration led me to shift from the initial concept of ‘concealment’ to the theme of ‘breakthrough’, which ultimately led to the formation of this work. By showing myself breaking free and breaking through, I hope this work can convey the meaning of growth and self-liberation.

This work, entitled the hand of rebirth, symbolizes the process of challenging myself, breaking through obstacles, and pursuing rebirth. The hand in the work is made of clay and supported by steel wires, presenting a powerful gesture that symbolizes the power to break through the constraints and the desire for rebirth.

The main structure consists of cardboard and canvas, forming a cylinder shape from which the hand bursts out, conveying the intention of breaking free. I chose white as the main color to symbolize purity and a positive attitude; on the white surface, a black element represents the resistance and obstacles on my way forward.

In addition, a spiky design is added to the structure to symbolize the burdens on my body that hinder my progress. Through this work, I would like to express a strong desire to break free from these constraints and achieve true rebirth and growth.

创作这件作品的灵感来自一个纸箱。当我看到这个纸箱时,萌生了将自己藏匿其中的想法,仿佛躲进一个保护壳中。最初的构思是用纸板材料制作一个圆柱形结构,能够完全包裹住我的身体,将自己彻底封闭其中。

然而在创作过程中,我逐渐意识到:如果从这个封闭结构中伸出一只手,会赋予我一种突破的力量感,就像在打破边界。这个灵感促使我从最初的"隐匿"概念转向"突破"主题,最终形成了这件作品。通过展现挣脱束缚、突破自我的状态,我希望这件作品能传递成长与自我解放的寓意。

作品命名为《重生之手》,象征着挑战自我、突破桎梏、追求重生的过程。作品中伸出的手由陶土制成,内部用钢丝支撑,呈现出充满力量的姿态,象征突破约束的力量与重生的渴望。

主体结构采用纸板和帆布构成圆柱形态,从中破茧而出的手传达了挣脱束缚的意图。我选择白色作为主色调,象征纯粹与积极的态度;在白色基底上加入黑色元素,代表前行路上的阻力与障碍。

此外,在结构上添加了尖刺设计,象征阻碍我前行的负重。通过这件作品,我想表达强烈挣脱这些约束的渴望,实现真正的重生与成长。
