The Echo of Her Words Evaporating in the Air
30-minute Performative reading
2026
房裡的人都注視著她的一舉一動，
Everyone watched her every movement.
部屋にいた人々は彼女の一挙一動を注視し、
大家的視線隨著她的身體動態移動。
Their gazes were tracking her.
皆の視線は彼女の動きとともに動いた。
擔心自己的聲線是否有足夠的音量傳到房間的盡頭，
She wondered if her voice would reach the far end of the room.
自分の声が部屋の奥まで届くほどの音量があるか、
As part of the solo exhibition Sometimes she would run out of words.

The Echo of Her Words Evaporating in the Air extends from The Tears of Tearing Her Heart Out (2025), a performance that combines cake-making, tasting, monologues, and writing. Inspired by her mother, who used cake-sharing as an emotional buffer, the artist examines personal and family trauma in mother-daughter relationships through a sensory and therapeutic process. The perspective shifts from first-person (“I”) to third-person (“she”), dissolving boundaries among time, performer, and audience, expanding the subjectivity of “her.” “She” narrates the story from the work, relayed by another “her” from a previous performance, describing her entrance, initiation, and emotional state as observed by “she.” The audience becomes collective witnesses as she confronts micro-tears linked to her and her friend’s upbringing, using the musicality of language to evoke a sense of belonging. The piece explores the fluid boundaries between performer, narrator, and audience, blending past and present, with “she” both physically present and outside the scene.
