The doll is bound to a stool with red jute rope, a vivid representation of the restrictions and constraints that held me back during that period of my life. The red rope signifies intense emotions—such as frustration, anger, or urgency—and highlights the severity of the limitations I felt. The act of binding the doll to the stool emphasizes a lack of freedom and autonomy, mirroring how I perceived my situation at the time.
By using a sewing machine, thread, and manual stitching, the process of creating the doll becomes a metaphor for piecing together and understanding my past. The stool serves not only as a physical support but also as a symbol of the burdens or responsibilities that kept me anchored.
This piece invites viewers to explore the universal experience of feeling confined or restricted and the emotional complexities that accompany such times in our lives. It speaks to the struggle of reconciling with one's past and the effort required to break free from the ties that bind us. Through this artwork, I aim to convey a narrative of overcoming adversity, embracing one's history, and moving towards personal liberation and growth.
这件作品是我对过往的深刻反思，凝聚了束缚、挣扎与自我探寻的旅程。那个由各色碎布拼凑而成的怪物般人偶，象征着我支离破碎的身份认同与复杂的情感体验。每块不同图案的布料都承载着独特的记忆与情绪，如同我们的人生经历塑造自我一般，这些碎片被缝合为整体。
人偶被红麻绳紧紧绑在木凳上，生动再现了那段禁锢我的岁月。红色绳索象征着激烈的情感——沮丧、愤怒或焦灼——凸显出当时所感受到的强烈束缚。捆绑的造型强调着自由与自主权的丧失，正是我彼时处境的真实写照。
缝纫机、针线与手工缝制的创作过程，成为我拼接并理解过去的隐喻。木凳既是物理支撑，也象征着将我牢牢桎梏的责任与重担。
这件作品邀请观者共赴一场关于困顿境遇的普世体验，品味那些岁月里纠缠的复杂心绪。它诉说着与自我和解的艰辛，以及挣脱束缚所需付出的努力。通过这件作品，我试图讲述一个关于战胜逆境、接纳历史、走向自我解放与成长的故事。
