And I’m good at wrapping my ideas in storytelling. In my culture, especially in my parents’ generation, many emotions cannot be directly expressed, and of course, I am also used to hiding my emotions due to the family factors.Until I started working on the “frame” series, I wanted to convey that I seemed to be confined to such a situation by myself and could not escape. I frame the monster to a shape, then I make what I feel confined in reality and try to convey the message to the audience.Then I started looking at the role of each person in the society, mostly you have a lot of roles at the same time. For example, I am a woman, but I am also an employee of a company and an independent creator. But the question is: have you ever tried to find your original self in these roles? Or you just play the roles that others expect.My work is mainly childlike with bright colors and interesting shapes, and then using storytelling to make it easy for the audience to understand the concept I want to convey. I graduated from National Taiwan University of Arts, MFA. Residence at Yingge Museum in New Taipei City in 2021, and residence at ClayArch Gimhae Museum in Korea in 2020.<a target="_blank" href="https://www.instagram.com/peiyu_ceramics/">https://www.instagram.com/peiyu_ceramics/</a>
