Untitled (our side), 2022

Medium: Borrowed objects and stolen power

Dimensions: 14’x35”x42”

Untitled (our side) challenges the abuse of power inherent in police brutality. Through its choice of materials, the artwork invites viewers to question the concepts of borrowing and theft: Is the police barricade simply a borrowed object, or does it symbolize power originally granted by the people—now stolen through its abuse by those in authority?

By merging a police barricade with the rockers of a traditional rocking chair, the work subverts the image of unquestionable authority. This destabilization shakes the seemingly impenetrable nature of power, reopening space for negotiation and dialogue about its origin, definition, and use.

無題（我們這邊）挑戰警察暴力中固有的濫權。透過材料的選擇，這件藝術品邀請觀眾質疑借用和偷竊的概念：警察路障僅僅是藉來的物品，還是像徵著最初由人民授予的權力——現在被當權者濫用而被盜走？

作品將警察路障與傳統搖椅的搖桿融為一體，顛覆了不容置疑的權威形象。這種不穩定動搖了權力看似堅不可摧的本質，重新開啟了有關權力起源、定義和用途的談判和對話空間。
