Zinc Generation Lost









The Artwork consist of two views: The close view (on the right) is the present or future, The open view (on the left) is the past. For me, life is like a box, you will never know what is inside, and you have to figure out it by the process of open and close. 


Everything is change, or I am rather say nothing is unchanged. Many traditional practices and old buildings are gone as the time keep varnishing. However, I believe that memories are resistant to the time. Therefore, It is a treasure to me.



Recently, I walked though the valley of KG.Hakka in Mantin, I saw many old wooden resident houses were demolished in the name of development. Those zinc roof top wooden houses are nostalgic to me. It remind me when I was a child, we used to play under zinc roof top without air-condition, and we used to eat together with a large group of family. But now it wouldn't happen to my children generation.


I am getting old, and my memories are also getting fragment. But something I will not forget and I am always feel proud of being as the zinc generation.
