White Slave Ship
白奴船

​2023
Paper
Dimension variable
"White Slave Ship" (2023), based on 17th-century depictions of slave ships, with numerous paper figures arranged in the shape of a vessel. However, these paper figures are not black but white, symbolizing white people. This piece intentionally challenges historical imagery, suggesting that enslavement is a tragedy regardless of race.
〈白奴船〉(2023)基於17世紀的黑奴船圖畫,以數量眾多的紙人排成船隻形狀。然而紙人的顏色並非黑色,而是象徵白種人的白色。本作品故意挑戰了歷史意象,而無論何種人種為奴皆為悲劇。
