Artist's Statement
Machine is made up of steel
and metal and our human body is made up of flesh and
bones. Both can be powerful, but on the other hand, can
be very dangerous too.
Machine bears many similarities to a human body. The
anatomy of a human body is very much like the details of
a machine such as a motorcycle or a fighter aircraft.
They operate the same way too. When the engine starts,
it also means the beginning of the journey of life.
The mechanics of communication play an important role in
our daily life. When we engage in a conflict with
another person, the dynamic from both sides can be
comparable to the force of a vehicular collision. Too
powerful, we will end up with serious damages.
--- Pauline
Chan

Can our eyes really tell us
the truth?
How we observe a person may often be superficial, not
knowing the full picture nor what really is behind the
facade.
We tend to use our past experiences as the frames of
reference, passing judgments on what meet our eyes.
Are these the realities?
Around us, people often keep a watchful eye on how we
look and how we perform. In Naked Eyes, I use
plastic fabrics and wires to sew up numerous eye-balls
and hang them together, keeping these eyes all over us,
looking down on us and peeping into our lives.
With these eyes zeroing in on us all the time, there is
a sense of helplessness growing within us. It is
something that we can do nothing about, but does it
really matter anyway?

**********
The human skin as parts of
our body reflects our inner physical situation. And the
sensation on the skin is immediate and sharp. Through
our skin we can recognize which get hurt in pain
immediately.
Skin is like a personal journal. It is one of the
things through which we experience everyday life.
Texture of plastic fabric which look-alike of human
skin. The use of skin-like colour and the white colour
of plastic fabrics create the fragment of our body. The
distortion and reconstruction of the body fragment shown
as a personal journal of my own experience.
