提起眷村，便是一個分化的開端，避不開的是它的歷史、政治，對台灣國族主義、台灣建國獨立運動⋯，眷村符號如同關鍵字的出現，生活標語、政治宣傳口號，使觀者以反射取代思考，意識形態的操作，無法沈澱自己對於事物的真實看法與想像，況且時代節奏加快使人生活在斷裂的時空中；本作品企圖將嚴肅的口號拆解成「單字」輸出在相對柔軟的抱枕上，以關係美學脈絡，邀請觀者在具有拼貼殖民符號的空間休憩思考，使觀者自行拼湊“想說的”亦或重新理解、詮釋單字的意涵。

When it comes to military dependents’ village in Taiwan , we can’t ignore its historical and political meanings; it’s the origin of differentiation。For Nationalism of Taiwan and sovereign-independent movement of Taiwan, signs such as slogans of political propaganda that placed in the military dependents’ village are manipulation of ideology. They manipulate the people in purpose of replacing Critical thinking with inject thoughts that keep the people away from gazing deep into their own mind and building thoughts in their own perspectives, not to mention speeding up of the world makes the circumstance worser.

The artist deconstructs slogans of political propaganda into letters and prints them on soft throw pillows. In the context of relational aesthetics, This work aims at inviting the viewers to think consciously in a place that full of colonial signs; putting those throw pillows of letters together in their own ways or interpreting the meanings of those letters in a new way.
