Silicone dolls can serve different purposes in people's lives. They can take on different identities, as a daughter, a sister, a best friend, or as most people expect, a lover. Silicone dolls, although not alive, have emerged as a source of solace for people's emotional wounds, representing the disconnection in human relationships in modern society.

Oil painting, a traditional painting medium, helps me to express the texture and changes in light and shadow of silicone dolls. I can create a realistic appearance and textural effects in oil paintings through delicate brushwork and multiple layers of paint. The saturated colors of oil painting also are good for representing the colors of silicone dolls.

My paintings explore the multifaceted relationship between people and silicone dolls, shedding light on the emotional support and companionship they can offer in the context of modern society's disconnection.
