Relaxation often emphasises the spontaneity and natural state of the subject. The works in this exhibition showcase a pursuit of tranquillity through the artificial amplification of 'inaction'. To some extent, the artists have projected and reprocessed their diluted personal emotions and existential confusions onto the canvas. These silent games comprised of visual compositions set subtle puzzles that penetrate the surface of simple or contradictory narratives, allowing the viewers to slowly uncover the hidden emotions and implied clues of the creator.

These works are not just merely realistic depictions, but an artificially relaxed tranquility. The artists do not directly depict specific themes but intentionally and subtly express different concepts and various landscapes. Through reprocessing objects with a strong lens of subjectivity, a theatric scenic variation is established. This unnatural relaxation is another form of the true state of creation and a unique kind of struggle.
