This work is about the weight of human heads. The weight of head reflects one’s physical and emotional status, and I visualize the tension between the inside and the outside of portrait figures. I also use multiple panel formation to explore how viewers engage their bodies with the artwork. Through identifying the subjects, viewers are invited to feel the weight of their heads.
