Shuttle Desire

作品賞析

TSAI Meng-Hsia’s Shuttle Desire uses the image of cats to create a fantasy realm of overlapping temporal dimensions with the subsumed hues symbolizing a fading mind. Beautiful vases are duplicated throughout the sections and are either presented in whole or in part, while the composition is dissected to resemble the montage of memory. The cats, on the other hand, leap and travel across different sections of the composition with their lovely and flexible forms, serving as a way for the artist to reminisce about happy moments during childhood spend together with cats. TSAI Meng-Hsia regards cats as a vector for remembrance and emotions and uses them to create a sad yearning for childhood experiences. Imaginations are used as elements for building a fantasy nested in both the real and virtual worlds.
