a Little Monsters: "Perhaps during the rush of a morning commute or on a sunny afternoon weekend, people hurriedly and bustlingly pass by, heading towards their destinations. Observing their mix of sadness, melancholy, and radiance, these are the scenes that perhaps only I, tucked away in a corner, can see. It's alright, you go ahead, I will catch up slowly."

A Little Monster is a creature that cannot lie. Even though it may want to fib, its body simply won’t allow it. Whenever faced with such a situation, it uncontrollably starts to inflate, often getting stuck in a corner of the city as a result.

Blessed with its exceptional geography, Taiwan is a bountiful producer of more than 80 fruit varieties. With vivid colors and delectable flesh, each fruit is a precious gem native to this land. In addition to local cultivation and imports, Taiwan offers a range of improved fruit cultivars. Just like the island's multicultural society, this diverse blend of characteristics is one of Taiwan's defining features.
Bananas, mangoes, wax apples, custard apples, and grapes are artist Zhuang Huiqi's top five favorite Taiwanese fruits. She has artistically composed these fruits into a captivating scene, hoping that anyone who lays eyes upon this artwork can experience the passion and sweet flavors of Taiwan.

Putting delicacies in vessels highlights the importance of aesthetics when it comes to enjoying food. Not only does it enhance the taste, but visual beauty is crucial too. When both aspects are considered, it elevates the beauty of food, transforming it into a wonderful life experience, allowing one to relish captivating landscapes.

In a collaborative workshop with the the place members, we painted on white Japanese paper in a plating style using various colors, finishing with a special texture created by plastic wrap. The inspiration for these colors came from daily commutes, whether walking, biking, driving, or using public transport, capturing the city's hues in memory and infusing them into the artwork through present feelings. Upon completion by the master, the artist used a white wall as the vessel, presenting this scenery, resembling blue-and-white porcelain with brushstrokes, symbolizing the rich palette akin to the art of plating gourmet dishes.
