The series of works “Hello, Mom” pays deep attention to the social role of “mother”. Stones and abstract human figures are used to blend and entangle with each other, forming a surrealist style in a literary sense. The title “Mom” not only represents “love” and “dedication”, but also implies helplessness, restraint, and even struggle… I hope that every mother can see her own reflection in the work. The works contain the secret feelings and orientations of female artists. At the same time, the relationship between works and design is also a creative feature of the author.

《你好，妈妈》这组作品是对＂妈妈＂这个社会角色深情关注。用石头与抽象的人形相互溶合、纠缠不清，形成文学意义上的超现实主义风格。＂妈妈＂这一个称呼既代表着＂爱＂和＂奉献＂，还暗含着无奈与束缚、甚至挣扎⋯，希望每位做妈妈的人都能在作品中看到自己的影子。作品有着女性艺术家隐秘感觉和取向，同时作品和设计关联也是作者的一个创作特点。
