The resin piece explores the communication barrier between my family and me due to distance and “cultural differences”, which cause frustration, depression, a sense of loneliness, insecurity, and powerlessness. Despite all the convenient communication technologies facilitating our interactions, my family cannot fully understand my life without references in a non-Chinese culture or grasp the person I have become, influenced by a multicultural society. The resin conceals deconstructed Chinese characters, highlighting the problem of broken communication that is represented by the ellipsis in the title. Although I can see clearly the problem but cannot touch and fix, and I choose to stay away from it, leaving it unresolved.
