長年旅居泰國的台裔陶藝家 Ting，將於 TARTCH 舉辦首次個展「Love Letter to Taiwan」。
這次展出的作品以陶瓷人像系列為主，這也是 Ting 藝術生涯中首次發表此類作品。她的創作不僅僅是技術上的探索，更是情感的傳遞，將內心深處的感受通過手捏陶土的過程具象化。陶土在她手中不僅僅是一種媒材，它帶有原始的生命力與可塑性，能夠真實反映出她對人文、自然與生活的思考。
以真實性和內省為創作核心，在無評判的環境中，她讓創造力自由成長，並透過藝術探索自我。每一件作品不同人物生動的呈現，都是她短暫停留台灣期間，所激發的情感回應；不論是孩童的好奇探索或是老人的無欲樸實…都是她捕捉那份溫暖的記憶，轉化成形象化的藝術語言
透過高溫燒製技法，展現了豐富的材質變化與質感細節。Ting 善於運用細膩上色技巧，使得人物的面容與姿態展現出獨特的層次感和溫潤的質地。在燒製過程中，陶土從柔軟變得堅硬，這不僅象徵著創作中的脆弱與堅韌，也體現了她對工藝的精準掌握。
她希望觀眾能透過這些作品，感受到她對台灣的深厚情感，以及她每次回到這片土地時，那份無法言喻的親切與歸屬感。同時，也希望提醒觀者，透過Ting 用雙手捏陶的人物，可以重新感受一份返樸歸真的純粹。
