Sometimes I feel that I am out of orbit and cover my body with a layer of soft fog. I cannot go out and I do not want to go out. I just want to live comfortably in my paradise.
From time to time, I would think that perhaps real life is a dream of my real world, a dream that continues to perform without a break.
The distance between work and viewer is also intentionally or unintentionally blocked by some kind of barrier.
Without too much communication, all characters are lingering in this limited space. I am afraid that if I leave here, it will be like a breathless death.
I want to protect this petite and fragile world, just as I block the dialogue and close myself in my own fantasy.

Lime Chang teaches children art, which involves using black markers and waste paper to be creative. It’s simple, yet there are unlimited possibilities. You could recycle that piece of waste paper, or just get rid of it, but how about drawing on it?
Growing up, I actually lacked confidence in my drawings because I couldn’t draw according to the standards everyone has when it comes to ‘realism.’ Nevertheless, I became an ‘art teacher.’ During class, I like to encourage the kids by telling them, “there are no correct answers or mistakes in drawing; drawing is just right!” Then it got me thinking, “I ought to walk the talk!” So, I gave myself a challenge: draw every single day, for one hundred days. I’ve stuck to that until this very day.
I have many sources of inspiration. Sometimes it’s something interesting that has happened in my life, or an object I spot and really resonate with. It could also be something intriguing online that I transform into a piece of my own. I also find inspiration in what I studied at university – sociology. Usually, those pieces revolve around sharing a particular concept, such as ‘social stigma,’ ‘power relations,’ ‘gender,’ etc.
