一扇窗，可以看見世界；一幅畫，可以打開希望。

A window let us see the world, a painting opens the door to hope.

A Window to the World

One day, I received a letter.

The moment I opened it, it felt as though I had also opened a window—a window leading toward a distant city and into the international language of contemporary art.

Dancing Girl is exhibiting in the international exhibition “Barcelona: 1001 Windows” at MEAM – Museu Europeu d’Art Modern (European Museum of Modern Art) in Barcelona, Spain.

With the window as its central curatorial concept, the exhibition invites artists from around the world to explore the multifaceted relationships between the city, the act of seeing, and the human experience—reflecting on how cultures flow, connect, and evolve through openness and exchange.

With its distinctive sense of movement and emotional intensity, Dancing Girl responds to the theme of the exhibition through a visual language of freedom, resilience, and hope in motion. It will become part of this international artistic dialogue.

The exhibition will take place at MEAM MUSEUM from September 16 to September 22, 2026, with the opening ceremony on September 17, bringing together artists and curators from around the world to share ideas and begin a new dialogue through art.

Sometimes, an invitation is more than a letter.

It is a window.

And sometimes, opening that window is the beginning of a new chapter.

HELLO:

"Welcome, everyone! These two artworks are actually engaged in a deep dialogue with each other, perfectly echoing the core theme of this exhibition: that a window is not merely an architectural structure, but a doorway to the human soul.

Let’s first look at <Transformation>. At first glance, do you immediately feel the striking contrast between ice and fire? You can imagine this painting as an 'inner window'—where cool, glacial blues are gradually consumed by surging flames and gold. Yet this is not destruction; it is an awakening. Look closely at those flame-like lines—they even sprout like new leaves. What this painting tells us is that when you bravely step across the threshold of fear, the circumstances that once felt frozen and static will forge into the most brilliant light.

Now, turning to another piece, <Above the Clouds>. If <Transformation> is an inward journey, this piece guides our perspective 'upward.'

Feel free to step a little closer. The artist has used a rich variety of mixed media here. Down at the base, the underlying structures subtly evoke warm villages and the rising sun. Moving your eyes upward along the canvas, delicate, colorful wooden strips and soft cotton reach toward the sky—they act like the promise of a rainbow and cloud-like witnesses, quietly watching over and honoring each unique soul as it leaps and grows toward higher horizons.

What is particularly fascinating is the white, frosting-like texture—have you noticed those faint cracks running through it? In the artist's eyes, these fissures are not flaws or signs of decay; they are 'windows' through which new life erupts.

It serves as a tender reminder that even when life reveals cracks, those very openings are where hope and imagination take root and sprout.

Side by side, these two paintings compose one of the most beautiful chapters within our 1001 windows: one leads us through a radiant rebirth, while the other, blessed with rainbow promises and cloud-like witnesses, carries us toward new horizons far beyond our imagination."

Artwork 1: Transformation (Cross the Threshold)

  Painting: Transformation, 41x31cm,mixed media

Transformation explores the pivotal moment when change becomes illumination.

Upon closer gaze, the canvas reveals a breathtaking interplay between ice and fire. Layers of glacial blue give way to surging crimson and gold, whose flame-like, organic contours sprout like new leaves—embodying both burning energy and vital growth.

While mineral textures and stone fragments anchor the piece in memory, a mysterious layer unfolds on the right: shimmering specks of blue and gold glitter weave through the composition, while a translucent, ice-like texture glimmers softly from behind, veiled and intriguing.

Yet, the true power rests at the very center: it is the fire that ultimately triumphs. Here, heat overcomes cold—not as destruction, but as a beautiful awakening. Fire becomes a passage: a threshold where fear yields to courage, and the frozen ordinary is forged into something radiant.

Created for Barcelona: 1001 Windows, this painting invites the viewer to look through an inner window, where every cold ending quietly kindles the spark of a new journey.

For collectors, Transformation is a testament that the brightest light and true rebirth are often forged when fire conquers the frost.

Artwork 2: Above the Clouds

Painting: Above the Clouds, 45.5x38cm, mixed media

Some windows do not look outward; they lift us higher.

Above the mountain, clouds transform into soft landscapes of possibility.

Created through collage and rich mixed media, each layer unveils new dimensions with every view. From a distance, subtle structural textures below gently evoke the warm silhouettes of houses and the rising sun. Rising above, delicate wooden strips and softened cotton in vivid reds, greens, and shimmering gold stretch skyward—like a school of unique, radiant fish leaping upward, each representing an individual soul in its distinct beauty and ascent.

The cloud-like textures are formed by a rich, earth-like white paste, evocative of frosting but deliberately textured with delicate "C-Cracks"—faint fissures like those in weathering rock. Far from signifying decay, these cracks represent a threshold for new life. For from within these very fissures, something fresh and resilient quietly prepares to sprout, reminding us that imagination is one of life’s most precious windows: a tender threshold into new, unyielding possibilities born from resilience.

Every color and form climbs gently toward the sky, suggesting that even the smallest leap or a delicate break can become part of a grander elevation.

For collectors, this artwork celebrates individuality, wonder, and the quiet optimism that continually guides us beyond the horizon of what we already know.

作品一｜Transformation｜蛻變（跨越門檻）

作品名稱： Transformation｜蛻變
尺寸： 41 × 31 cm
媒材： 綜合媒材

《Transformation｜蛻變》探索的是一個關鍵的時刻——當改變開始成為光。

近距離觀看畫面，可以看見冰與火之間令人屏息的交織。層層冰川般的藍色，逐漸讓位於奔湧的深紅與金色；如火焰般、充滿生命力的有機線條向上生長，如同新葉萌發，同時承載著燃燒的能量與生命甦醒的力量。

礦物質感與石頭碎片，將畫面穩穩地錨定在「記憶」之中；而右側則悄然展開另一個神秘的層次——閃爍的藍色與金色微光穿梭其中，半透明、如冰般的質地從後方若隱若現，帶著一種朦朧而引人探索的氣息。

然而，真正的力量存在於畫面的中心。

是火，最終勝過了冰。

這並不是毀滅，而是一場美麗的甦醒。

火成為一條通往改變的路徑,一道跨越的門檻。在這裡，恐懼讓位給勇氣，而原本凝結、停滯的日常，逐漸被鍛造成閃耀的新生命。

為 Barcelona: 1001 Windows 所創作的《Transformation》，邀請觀看者透過一扇內在的窗，看見生命深處的轉變：

每一個冰冷的結束，都可能正在悄悄點燃下一段旅程的火種。

對收藏家而言，《Transformation》是一份關於生命轉化的見證——真正明亮的光，以及生命嶄新的誕生，往往正是在火焰穿越霜雪之後，被鍛造而成。

作品二｜Above the Clouds｜雲端之上

作品名稱： Above the Clouds｜雲端之上
尺寸： 45.5 × 38 cm
媒材： 綜合媒材

有些窗不是向外看，而是帶著我們向更高之處而去。

山巔之上，雲朵逐漸轉化成一片柔軟而充滿可能性的風景。

作品以拼貼與豐富的綜合媒材層層構築，每一次觀看，都能發現不同的維度。從遠處望去，下方細緻而含蓄的結構肌理，彷彿溫暖的房屋剪影與初升的太陽。

向上望去，輕盈的木條與柔軟的棉質素材，以鮮明的紅、綠與閃耀的金色向天空延伸——宛如彩虹的應許及一群獨特而閃耀的魚--雲彩般的見證人, 躍向高處。每一條魚，都象徵著一個獨一無二的靈魂，以自己的姿態，向上、向光而行。

雲朵般的肌理由厚實、帶有大地質感的白色膏體構成，視覺上有些像細緻的糖霜；但藝術家刻意在其中留下細微的 「C-Cracks」，如同岩石經歷時間風化後所形成的淡淡裂痕。

這些裂痕並不代表衰敗。

它們反而是一道新生命的門檻。

因為正是在這些裂縫之中，一個嶄新而堅韌的生命，正安靜地準備萌發。

它提醒我們：想像力，是生命最珍貴的一扇窗。

它是一道溫柔的門檻，讓我們穿越韌性所孕育出的裂縫，走向那些尚未被看見、卻充滿可能的未來。

每一種色彩、每一道形體，都緩緩向天空攀升。即使只是一次微小的躍動，甚至只是一道細微的裂縫，也可能成為一場更宏大的上升旅程中的一部分。

對收藏家而言，《Above the Clouds》是一件關於獨特、驚奇與希望的作品。

它歌頌每一個生命不同的姿態，也相信那份安靜而持續的樂觀，會引領我們越過熟悉的地平線，走向一個尚未被看見的世界。
