Dépôt is my first piece of work in 2009. The idea for this piece comes from French word Dépôt. Before I learned anything further, all I knew was that this word meant a place of confinement for those who engaged in illegal, indecent or immoral behaviors. Without delving deeply into the architectural characteristics or function of the Dépôt, my painting portrays only the external structure of the building. The choice of colors and the overall structure of the building was the fruit of my own imagination. What I try to convey is that there will always be discrepancies between visual and literary representation of abstract concepts. It is inevitable that meanings tend to get lost in translation, and personal feeling gets lost in the process of verbal or visual articulation. This eventually leads to ambiguity of meaning which is continually being interpreted and reinterpreted through a variety of perspectives. One can never expect to achieve full equivalence of meaning in translation; one can only strive to get as close as possible to the original meaning when trying to express it in the artwork.(Huang Pin-Ling)
