Artist Statement                         Pandora's Box, a cruel releasing, appearance of the truth?  By open up the box layer by layer, symbolize the search of truth layer by layer.  Under a wonderful appearance, with the truth behind it, is it as perfect as its appearance?  Or is as cruel as others afraid to face it?  Under the slogan of global, the world goes to a trend as one body, which leads people to an even world of resource sharing, or is it simply sacrifice those minorities for benefits distribution?         Famous quality goods and international issue are the beginning of my creative thinking.  For example, WTO, chocolate, platinum bag etc.  By the method such as film, image, so the audience can open up the box layer by layer, then we can slowly investigate the different concept of the things.              The audience can re-think about the gap between the appearance and truth, and can even have queries on their point of view to the project after watching.  Just like Pandora’s Box, maybe the evilness of desire has opened, but what is the value of the desire?  Take over and split it, maybe the only visual part is hopeless and disappointment, but maybe because of this, we are closer to the true truth.  Award 2009    "Blood chocolate" the fourth festival of children's rights, Xinglong Elementary School, Taipei
