《Children》Tsai-wei Yeh

About the Exhibition

The exhibited works include the Banquet Series (喜宴系列) (Red), alongside the artist’s reflections on her children (child) and the world around her after becoming a mother. The name "赤子" not only embodies the meaning of innocence and purity but also cleverly incorporates the Chinese character "赤", which symbolizes the color red, seamlessly merging the two themes into one.

These two themes are explored through works such as “Boring” and “Quality Control.” In “Boring,” the artist portrays herself as a vacant-eyed little girl helpless amidst a social gathering full of toasts. In “Quality Control,” a bittersweet smile captures the helplessness after becoming an “adult” (mother). The key difference between the two works lies in the social responsibilities that come with motherhood. One can no longer pretend to be a child, but can learn to appreciate both children and the child they once were.
