Presented in the form of installation art, this exhibition

explores the theme of profound connection and rebirth

between Chinese parents and children. The chain symbolizes

the bonds passed down from generation to generation in the

family, conveying the close relationship between parents and

children. The birdcage represents the care and protection of

the parents, while the branches and wings symbolize the

growth and freedom of the child. This contrast reveals the

subtleties of trade-offs within families, expressing the

complexity of the emotional bonds between parents and

children in the emerging process. The images of birds and

birdcages in the painting echo the contradictions and

balances in family relationships. Through this contrasting

expression, the differences in parents’ expectations and

understanding of their children are conveyed. This theme

guides the audience to think deeply about the integration and

conflict between traditional concepts and modern values in

Chinese culture, as well as the challenges faced by the new

generation in this process. Through the interweaving of

multiple elements, inspiring the audience to think deeply

about family, tradition and modernity.

Everything that is necessary is possible.
