My series of butterfly fans is mainly about how individuals can stay awake and free in a chaotic world. The viewer cannot see any concrete image in the background. This is the backdrop to our unpredictable, chaotic world today, battered by epidemics and natural disasters. It puts each of us in a state of tension at any moment.

       Under great stress, we often unconsciously take out our emotions on the people closest to us. Especially during the isolation period, people's emotions and conflicts between people are infinitely magnified in the narrow space. How to ease our emotions without hurting ourselves and the people we care about becoming an important topic.

       The spiritual realm of Lao And Zhuang in Chinese Taoism, which is pure, natural, and absolutely free, helps us calm down. It emphasizes getting rid of the chaotic external world of the spirit and establishing spiritual independence and free expression of personality in the inner world.

       Nietzsche, the western philosopher, has something in common with Zhuangzi in his philosophical thoughts. He believes that even if the world is pessimistic and hopeless, individuals should be positive, happy, and independent.

       The butterfly in the painting represents the inner world of complete peace, happiness, and freedom, forgetting the world and self. It's concrete, it's more real. It’s a metaphor for Zhuangzi's dream butterfly.
