The starting point of this series is my feelings and thinking about "artist socialization".

Similar to many social and professional identities, artists also need to expand their personal networks and exposure through social behaviour. Similarly, exhibitions are also a work activity that spreads artists and their works through exhibition and display. If there is no team, the artists themself need to have the awareness of publicity and public relations to help their careers grow. So, "socializing" is often considered part of an artist's work.

However, when the social gradually formed a fixed circle, the content of the conversation gradually shifted from work to private life. During the opening ceremonies of some exhibitions or preview activities, the friends who know each other will start some daily conversations. Whatever the work on a show that day, it seems that the focus will be on "socializing". Artists, as well as art practitioners, seem to grab the viewer's attention more than works.

It's an inflatable doll wearing the clothes I had from my last work ("Experience"), and she slumps down and whispers, looping her personal statement, like an artist who works hard to make her work known to others. I have joked with some artists that at the opening of the exhibition, we are like the staff at the counter, we need to constantly communicate with the audience, introduce ourselves and introduce the works, these are the beginning of all conversations. The existence of this work, firstly, reproduces this scene, and secondly, it allows me, who is busy with another work, to assign responsibilities to her.

Due to the two cushions placed beside the doll, she also communicated with the audience at the scene, and the audience would close their ears to listen to her confession. Some viewers would take selfies with her, some would raise a glass next to her as a drunk.

Based on the properties of the inflatable doll, she will collapse over time, which is also consistent with the physical and mental state that has been hollowed out from social fatigue.
