    Spill a Little Tea reimagines Delaroche’s The Execution of Lady Jane Grey as a contemporary act of witnessing and resistance. The work draws on the quiet tension of the original painting, transforming it into a space where suppressed voices rise to the surface. “Spilling tea” becomes both confession and revelation—stories once hidden now shared, honored, and believed. This piece stands for women across time who have been unjustly killed, abused, or silenced. By revisiting a historical moment of innocence and powerlessness, the work insists on remembrance, accountability, and the urgent necessity of speaking truths that were never meant to disappear.

  105. Illusory Truth

    In a world where future technologies have seamlessly merged with humanity, the boundaries between reality and illusion dissolve. Humans traverse diverse realms, experiencing ever-changing forms of existence as they shift between perceived "reality" and virtual simulations. Yet, unbeknownst to them, even their so-called "real" world may itself be a fabricated construct. From the enigmatic appearance of a crow at the story’s inception to its watchful gaze in the finale, every layer of existence unfolds under its surveillance. This mystical creature symbolises the possibility that both our tangible world and virtual dimensions exist within a higher-dimensional reality—a realm beyond human comprehension. Metaphor In virtual realms, we can become anyone we aspire to be. We are protagonists across infinite worlds, transcending limitations through metamorphosis. If we perceive the virtual as real, it becomes our reality; if we anchor ourselves in the tangible, it solidifies as truth. Every illusion holds truth, and every truth carries illusion. All that is imagined manifests as real, while the "real" dissolves into the ephemeral.

These statues remain still, yet their fractured pieces drift weightlessly, as if suspended in a gravity-defying space. The muted, blue-toned palette enhances the sense of isolation and timelessness.
