關於全國美術展 「全國美術展」由文化部指導、國美館主辦，是臺灣美術界具指標性的競賽盛事。本屆吸引近千件作品參賽，展現了臺灣在多元文化交融下，藝術創作者對生活環境、社會議題及美學潮流的深層觀察與創意能量。
近期有幸於「111年全國美術展」獲得新媒體藝術類銀獎。新作《花簇在婆娑中綻放》（Blumentanz）從製作到正式展出歷時兩年，這是我對創作生涯的自我期許：儘管平時需兼顧專業工作，仍堅持每半年完成一個創作里程碑，讓創作脈絡如細水長流般緩慢而堅定地發生。
在創作過程中，我持續思考動畫突破螢幕框架的可能性。從早期的影像，到去年的繪本與植物畫，直到本次全國美展，我嘗試將作品與整個展覽空間結合，轉化為一體化的裝置藝術。這一步步的自我挑戰，也讓我體會到「集眾人之力」的珍貴。創作雖是個人的思考，但要將作品壯大並完整呈現，需要每一位師長、夥伴與好友的扶持。在臺灣打磨創作的這些年，很幸運能遇到這麼多貴人，讓我在剛柔並濟的學習中，找到讓作品生長的能量。
致謝名單：特別感謝指導教授石昌杰老師的信任與建議；陳永賢老師在藝術領域的教導；劉家伶老師對音樂與畫面的啟發。同時感謝在佈展與製作過程中，兩肋插刀給予專業協助與精神支持的夥伴們：筑筑、治中、阿皮、潘潘、季嫻、筱柔、愛倫。最後感謝馬來西亞家人的信任，以及靈魂伴侶林先生始終如一的支援。
2022 National Art Exhibition, Taiwan — New Media Art Silver Prize〈Blumentanz〉

About the National Art Exhibition, Taiwan The "National Art Exhibition, Taiwan" is a premier competitive event in the Taiwanese art community. This edition featured nearly a thousand entries, reflecting the unique cultural synthesis of Taiwan and the creative energy of artists observing social pulses and aesthetic trends.
Artist’s Statement I am honored to receive the Silver Prize in New Media Art at the 2022 National Art Exhibition. My new work, Blumentanz, took two years from conception to its official debut. This represents a personal commitment to my creative career: despite the demands of professional work, I strive to achieve a creative milestone every six months, allowing my artistic trajectory to flow steadily like a stream.
In recent years, I have explored the possibilities of animation beyond the screen. This project has evolved from traditional video to picture books and botanical paintings, culminating in this immersive spatial installation at the National Art Exhibition. This journey of self-challenge has taught me the power of collaboration. While creation is a solitary reflection, bringing a large-scale vision to life requires collective strength. I feel incredibly fortunate to have spent these years in Taiwan refining my craft and finding the energy to grow alongside mentors, partners, and friends.
Acknowledgments Heartfelt thanks to my advisor, Prof. Shih Chang-Chieh, for his trust and guidance; Prof. Chen Yung-Hsien and Prof. Liu Chia-Ling for their artistic inspiration. I am deeply grateful to my professional partners and friends—Chu-Chu, Chih-Chung, A-Pi, Pan-Pan, Chi-Hsian, Hsiao-Jou, and Ellen—for their invaluable support during the installation. Finally, I thank my family in Malaysia for their trust and my soulmate, Wei-Chi Lin, for his unwavering support throughout this journey.
