Director Statement
Upholding humanitarian faith in the critical theory, I hope that through artwork the society could inspect and think about the existing injustice, discrimination and oppression that people of borderline gender/body suffer, and eventually they could be understood one day. It is expected that the social/gender relationship between people could be established on happiness.
