My work projects the correlation between traditional values
and contemporary life, reflects the co-existence between identity and modernisation
and projects the theory that modernisation will inevitably lead towards globalisation
which provides opportunities for adaptation of new life styles, acceptance of
foreign elements, sharing of common values and opening up global thinking etc.
The juxtaposition of Chinese food and McDonald fast food, traditional and modern
ways of carrying babies, the clothed figure (as commonly found in Eastern art)
and the nude (as commonly portrayed in Western painting) together with the Chinese
and English texts are intended to clearly express the above notion of correlation
and co-existence in the process of globalisation. The nuance of colour tones
from dark to light and dull to bright suggests the transition and progression
of such a process.
