《Just Right》
Exhibition Statement
In an era bound by speed and standards, people often find themselves trapped in an endless pursuit of “becoming better.” Expectations and pressures—from society, from others, and even from within-relentlessly drive us toward an idealized future that may never be reached. Yet amid this perpetual chase, a fundamental question arises: What are we truly pursuing, and can we allow ourselves to pause and accept that things are “just right”?
The phrase “Just Right” is deliberately ambiguous and filled with tension. It can signify the hopeful longing of “If only it could be this way,” but also the self-acceptance of “I am fine as I am.” It oscillates between “enough” and “not enough,” serving both as a motivation for growth and as a reason to let go. This exhibition seeks to open a dialogue around these dualities—between desire and fulfillment, progress and pause.
The exhibition unfolds in two series, shifting from the contradictions of lived experience to the healing of the inner self:
1. Auspicious Paintings
Inspired by traditional cultural wishes for a good life, these works draw on auspicious wordplay and imagery. Animals symbolizing blessings and fortune are placed in scenes that are nearly transformative and surreal, yet they remain serene and self-contained. This juxtaposition reflects the dual state of mind: the yearning to transcend one’s circumstances while simultaneously finding contentment within them. The tension reveals the paradoxical human condition—forever caught between striving for more and embracing what is already here.
2. Inner Worlds
The aquarium becomes a symbolic boundary, separating the turbulence of the external world from a sanctuary of inner peace. Outside the boundary lies pressure and chaos; inside is an idealized space of rest and self-care. Here, “Just Right” shifts from compromise to reconciliation, from resignation to self-nourishment. These works invite viewers to turn inward, to discover resilience and freedom within, and to embrace moments of serenity amidst life’s uncertainties.
Ultimately, Just Right does not propose a fixed answer. Instead, it offers a lens through which to reflect. Desire and fulfillment, progress and pause, may coexist in the same moment. Perhaps it is precisely within this coexistence that we find a way to embrace both freedom and happiness in a complicated world.
nd happiness in a complicated world.
展覽論述 李駿偉/文
在這個被速度與標準綁架的時代，人們往往深陷於「要變得更好」的無盡追逐之中。來自社會、他人，甚至自我內心深處的期待與壓力，不斷推動著我們朝向一個永遠難以抵達的理想未來前進。然而，在這無止盡的奔跑過程中，真正的問題是：我們究竟在追求什麼？又是否能允許自己停下來，承認「這樣就好」？
「這樣就好」是一個模糊卻充滿張力的詞彙。它既可以是「要是能這樣就好」的願景與期盼，也可以是「我這樣就好」的自我接納。它在不同語境中，游移於「足夠」與「不夠」之間，既可能是推動成長的動力，也可能是放下執念的理由。本展試圖在這種擺盪之中，開啟一場關於「欲望與滿足、進步與止步」的對話。
展覽分為兩個系列，從現實的矛盾經驗出發，轉向心靈的療癒與自省：
一、吉祥畫系列
靈感源自傳統文化中對美好生活的寄望，作品命名多取材於諧音吉語，並將各種象徵吉祥的動物形象置於近乎變幻的場景中，這些動物們卻依舊怡然自得，營造出一種介於「期望進步」與「安於現況」的矛盾狀態。藝術家藉由此種張力，揭示人類心境的雙重性：既渴望超越現狀、邁向更好，也同時希冀能在有限的境遇裡找到滿足。
二、內在世界系列
透過「水族箱」作為象徵邊界的意象，作品描繪出內外世界的對照。邊界之外，是現實的壓力與紛擾；邊界之內，則是理想化的心靈棲居之所。這是一個自我安放與精神修復的空間，在其中，「這樣就好」不再是妥協，而是自我和解與心靈滿足的終點。藝術家試圖引導觀者凝視內心，從中發現自身的力量與自由，並在當下找到片刻的平靜與接納。
最終，《這樣就好》並非給出標準答案，而是提供一種觀看與思考的契機。它同時承載了未來的憧憬與當下的安定，欲望與滿足在此並置，進步與止步得以共存。或許，「這樣就好」正是我們在紛繁世界裡，仍能擁抱自由與幸福的關鍵。
