Aquarium

作品賞析

HUANG Hai-Hsin’s artwork portrays oddities of modern, everyday life, and hides various deviant and oddly stereotypical values of society in an attempt to emphasize the meaningless nature of life in an era of comfort. Aquarium illustrates an indoor setting of an artificial aquarium that boasts fish tanks arranged in a large formation, each tank rearing brilliantly colored underwater life. These lifeforms are regarded as merchandise to be sold to anyone who fancies them. This seemingly ordinary-looking setting hides the ludicrous nature of human activity as well as inner loneliness and insecurity experienced by people. HUANG Hai-Hsin’s works provide a nonsensical yet realistic portrayal that interpret the state of inner and psychological consciousness of people living in modern times.
