紙娃娃的發明，滿足人們對於美好事物的任意配置與掌控的快感，以及表述出主體權力意識的擴張。如果紙娃娃不再是俊男美女、不再身材姣好、線條分明，而是赤裸裸的呈現出真實體態；他們可能是你的朋友、和你擦肩而過的路人或者就是自己時，你將如何看待這些失去表象修飾且毫不遮掩的玩偶？又如何面對自己對於他人價值的掌控慾望呢？藝術家讓觀眾在與作品互動的過程中，產生一種大與小、真實與虛擬的對比，並透露出每個個體對於當下社會狀態中的身份價值認同，以及權力、慾望在形而上外顯和內化之間的微妙關係。
The invention of the paper doll satisfies the want for people to do what they want with beautiful objects, while also expressing the expansion of self-consciousness. If papers dolls were not depictions of perfect people or didn’t have perfect figures and clear lines, but were instead completely naked, a friend,a stranger, or even ourselves, how would we look at them? How would we view our own desire to control the value of others? As part of the process by which the artist allows audience to interact with the piece, a contrast is established between - a large/small, real/virtual dichotomy - between the figures in the gallery and the piece. This is then used to describe an acceptance of our own value in today’s society, the intangible external expression and internalization of the desire for power.
