    For me, "hand" is a necessary prerequisite for the skills of a realistic painter or craftsman. At least, the skill of the hands is more important to me than attention to the tools. It's not a status I hold solely as an artist, literary and artistic figure, or creator. Therefore, I want to present this work in a symbolic state, more like a monument. Therefore, "strange hands" is sometimes more of a term I use to describe the spirit of craftsmanship. I have transformed the word "strange hands in the plural" into "strange hand in the plural" and coexisted in the old port of Kaohsiung, thereby changing the existing cognitive state.

    In addition, the name "God's Left Hand, Devil's Right Hand" originates from the famous comic strip "Hunter," one of the specific abilities of the telekinesis system. The content of this trick is that after touching an object with the right hand, the object is copied with the left hand, but the ability is released after 24 hours. When I look at the self-parody of this series of my works from the perspective of reproduction, I think this ability is very similar to the way I make works, and the limitations of this ability are like these surface paintings that peel off over time. However, based on the characteristics of the medium, the peeling of the aged surface replaces the trompe l'oeil effect of oxidation and protection, which is like highlighting the time-inverse relationship between personal painting characteristics and the medium.
