The work adopts the cheap-and-garnish decoration, a shiny frame, a theatrical scene, and the model’s abnormal pose to create a creepy image which integrates some intensive sexual desire with fake pretense. WU Tien-Chang has once mentioned that such a cheap-and-garnish quality of “fakeness” originates from his observation on and interpretation of the hidden uncertainty of the Taiwanese culture. The continuous invasion, colonization, and immigration throughout Taiwan’s modern history resulted in a transitional state of mind while everything seems to be temporary and substitutive. The rulers, who planned nothing more than a temporary stay, never wanted to accept and identify themselves with the local culture. The creepy atmosphere of the work reveals a sense of insecurity. The covered eyes are the image of wound which the artist intentionally inserts in to strengthen the doubt of building an ideal homeland.
