​Imagine the World Without Borders, 2024

 

Medium: Digital prints on paper.

Dimensions: 5x5x 1/16”

 

Using images of the U.S.-Mexico border wall, this project examines the power dynamics of borders and their impact on migration and human mobility.

​

I replicate border landscapes and disrupt them by cutting and removing sections that represent walls and barriers. This act of erasure transforms symbols of division into openings for connection, challenging the permanence and authority of these boundaries. The voids left behind are not just empty spaces—they signify possibility, vulnerability, and the potential to reimagine territories beyond confinement.

​

As viewers engage with the folds, rigid barriers shift into dynamic forms—bridges rather than walls. The act of folding and unfolding simulates migration, movement, and crossing, making the viewer an active participant in dismantling and reconfiguring borders.

 

This project envisions a more inclusive, open future where borders dissolve into connections, and shared humanity transcends division.

想像沒有邊界的世界，2024

本作品運用美墨邊界牆的影像，探討邊界中的權力結構，以及其對移動與遷徙的影響。

 

我透過重現邊界地景，並剪裁、移除其中象徵牆體與阻隔的部分，以破壞原有的結構。這種抹除的行為將分隔的符號轉化為聯繫的孔隙，質疑邊界的永恆性與其權威。被移除的空隙不只是空白，它們象徵著可能性、脆弱性，以及對超越束縛的疆域重新想像的潛力。

 

觀眾在與作品摺疊與展開的互動中，原本僵硬的邊界轉化為流動的形式——牆變成了橋。這種摺與展的動作模擬遷徙與跨越的歷程，使觀者成為積極參與拆解與重構邊界的行動者。

​

這項計畫想像一個更具包容性與開放性的未來——在那裡，邊界不再是隔離，而是連結；共同的人性超越了分裂。
