《我們都在表皮層掙扎》是以表皮層作為舞台,畫面中的主體是一塊被切割、的帶皮的肉塊,所謂「人為刀俎,我為魚肉」生活在表皮層上的人物都是來自於現實生活的取樣:來自真實的生活片段,來自是由內心感受,來自日常用語的轉譯,將繪畫以語言式的影像製造或再現,以自嘲、幽默的口吻來表達對社會的體悟及觀察。倒插在小人物生活在表皮層之上看似自由,其實是被擺佈操控的,就像皮膚上的汗毛,被皮層之下的組織、腺體等結構所支配,而卻無法察覺到它是如何運行的,如同我們所生活的世界,平凡度日之中卻隱約感受到被某股神秘力量桎梏著。

“Struggling on the Epidermis” is an artwork describing those commoners who are just like the meat on the chopping block, seems to have their own freedom to do anything, but still they are under control of this society.  This piece of work applies the epidermis as a stage, the main part of the painting is a piece of flesh with skin on it.  The people living on the epidermis are all the samples from real life, which are the clips from real life, the feelings of heart, and the interpretation of daily language.  Create or replicate paintings as language-like images, and express the understanding and observation of society with a self-deprecating and humorous tone.  The commoners living on the epidermis seem to be free.  However, they are actually manipulated by the structure of the tissue and glands under the skin layer without perceiving how it works, as the hair of the skin.  Just like the world we live in, during the ordinary days, we feel faintly bound by a certain mysterious force.
