In the work “Emoter”, the artist’s facial expression is scrunched and stretched by machines. I like that his several facial features were cut into pieces and each being interpreted differently. As each feature change by time, the once familiar face suddenly become so unfamiliar, even become scary in a way that it’s somehow hard to lay’s one’s eye on it. One’s face no longer belongs to oneself, but can be distorted, played around with or even forced to smile by the kinetic machine.

In the work "Reface", it's surprising that with such method, people are able to interact with others' facial expression. Also, some combinations might seem ridiculous in a way, but some just surprisingly match others very well!

From these works, I can’t help but think about whether there is such "how i see myself" that can describe who I am well. From the age 4 to 18, I had been studying (mostly experimenting with the materials and playing around :P) in the child art studio, I was asked to look into the mirror and create one self-portrait every year (as a method to “record our growth”, each experimenting different materials and styles according to the class syllabus). But when I looked back at all of my work, I was never satisfied with any of my self-portraits, neither does any photograph taken by others that contains my face. It’s hard to lay my eye on those, as none of them looks/feels exactly like the way I look at myself, but I gradually understand that it’s the ” self-identity” that is constantly changing by years, by minutes, that no matter how hard I try, I can only try to create work as close as possible to my feelings of myself, but never the same as the actual “self-portrait” pictured in my mind.
