Artist entitled exhibition as “intimacy”, in the installation Humanoids Family, which is inspired by the human body. The spectator can wear a “T-shirt sculpture” to walk, sit or recline. The notion of human body is crucial to my research. I am exploring how the body gestures can contribute to physical intimacy by having a series of body-interaction practices. 

​

This “soft sculpture” is made of polyamide fabric, velvet, lavender, styrofoam. It makes me to consider how does the choices of materials used affect human’s feeling of intimacy as well.
