As the TFAM’s new collection vault is about to be inaugurated, this exhibition focuses specifically on female artists’ works in our collection, aiming to shine a light on a creative dimension of contemporary art that is both tender and resilient. It seeks to provide a new perspective from which audiences can understand and interpret the collection. Moreover, this exhibition foregrounds that our new collection vault not only implies the expansion of physical space but also commits to unwavering exploration of the inner conditions of contemporary art. As a concept of human geography, “enclave” refers to a territory entirely surrounded by the territory of one country but not under its jurisdiction. Derived from Latin, enclave comprises the prefix “en” (in, within something) and “clave” (key), literally translated as “a locked space.” This exhibition invokes the metaphor of “enclave” to represent a creator's inner world, indicating a safe haven for consciousness, a space which can be shielded autonomously, so that the creator can maintain inner peace and steadfastness in the face of external interventions or emotional fluctuations. The exhibition mirrors the rich inner worlds and diverse life experiences expressed in women's art, extending the common autobiographical narrative in literature to convey the context and life concerns of artists across different stages of their lives.

The artist is known for his exquisite carving and polishing techniques and minimalist aesthetics. His works are repeatedly scraped from natural materials, with lines eroding and blending each other, and cleverly combined with paint pigments to create dynamic visual effects of color and texture, quietly moving in space. Through the interaction between works, space and people, he attempts to evoke forgotten memories and delicate emotions, deeply explore the emotions hidden in the subconscious, and reveal the deep meaning of daily life.
