At Branch Road

作品賞析

YEH Tsai-Wei is skilled in eastern gouache, creating narrative illustrations to convey her inner voice that belongs to her own specific generation. At Branch Road creates a strange and mysterious image. Two bare feet girls wearing white dresses are standing alone in an overgrown wilderness, serving as the projection of the artist’s inner-self. One of the girls is holding a small thorny cactus, insinuating the girl’s intent to arm and defend her extremely fragile heart. The other girl looks around with great uncertainty, unsure of the next path to take. YEH Tsai-Wei has used this artwork to describe the process of socialization where people mold themselves to fit social expectations, but end up being unable to recognize their true personalities.
