《MEN LIFE 》presents four male figures at different stages of life, gathered around and smoking within a scaled-down ashtray. In the real space, viewers stand around a large ashtray, observing these miniature figures. This creates a structure of “watching within watching” — much like looking at a photograph within a photograph — forming layered visual frames that metaphorically suggest the condition of the individual as perpetually observed and engaged in self-examination.
The four characters symbolize distinct phases in the trajectory of male growth: from youthful rebellion and confusion to the gradual formation of a mature masculine identity. The foreign figure represents the influence of external cultures on self-identification, as well as the latent fascination with and imitation of the West. The elderly figure embodies the inevitable future stage one must eventually confront. As the four smoke simultaneously and gaze at one another, they appear to share their past, present, and yet-to-arrive future, forming a dialogue about the course of life.
The work adopts a square structure and metallic materials as its primary formal language, symbolizing social norms and psychological frameworks. Red elements allude to warning, danger, and introspection. The act of smoking is no longer merely a daily habit; it is transformed into a symbol of pause and reflection, suggesting that amid the repetitive rhythms of life, one must still contemplate personal goals and the person one aspires to become.
Through the manipulation of scale, viewing relationships, and symbolic character construction, 《MEN LIFE 》transforms individual experiences of growth into a visible, contemplative scene. In doing so, it positions the viewer as both observer and observed, inviting a renewed reflection on one’s place within existing frameworks and one’s current stage in life.

《OPQ SCRAMBLE》is centered on the imagery of a fighter jet, symbolizing the team’s highly focused execution and explosive energy. The central engine represents clear and steadfast core values, while the propulsion units on either side signify a state of readiness—prepared to take off at any moment and confront new challenges.
The work captures a poised-for-takeoff stance, metaphorically expressing the team’s ambition to move across regions, advance continuously, and generate limitless momentum.
The shooting location was a Volkswagen Beetle repair workshop, serving as a symbol of industrial heritage and mechanical culture from a previous era. In contrast to the contemporary technology and future-oriented imagination embodied in the work, this setting creates a dynamic tension between past and future.
It conveys a transitional state—launching from history while carrying renewed energy—symbolizing the team’s commitment to advancing toward its next stage of goals and vision through innovative technology.

《 Yumi Chap BOW 》originates from the textual clue“Heavenly Yumi Bow” found in “nu-A03 Yumi Chap” on Nul1.org. Using a baseball cap as the medium of translation, the work reinterprets the bow weapon
imagery from the online game Lineage into a wearable form through structural reconfiguration. It then returns from garment to bow, forming a cyclical design relationship of “weapon — garment — weapon.”
Through the application of a carbon fiber aesthetic, the piece further emphasizes lightness and a technological sensibility, blurring the boundary between wearing and arming.
The photoshoot setting also takes “weapon” as its spatial point of departure, reinforcing the visual narrative of transformation from cap to weapon. The overall presentation traces a process in which an everyday wearable object evolves into a symbolic, lightweight weapon form, revealing the interconnected relationship between virtual culture, design translation, and contemporary material language.
《Yumi Chap BOW》源自 Nul1.org「nu-A03 Yumi Chap」中「天堂尤米弓」的文字線索，並以棒球帽作為轉譯載體。作品將線上遊戲《天堂》中的弓箭武器意象，透過結構重組轉化為穿戴式造型，再由服飾形式回歸至弓箭本身，形成一種「武器—服飾—武器」的循環設計關係。透過碳纖維質感的運用，作品進一步強調輕量化與科技感，模糊 穿戴與武裝之間的界線。
本次拍攝場景同樣以「武器」作為空間起點，強化作品由帽子轉化為武 器的視覺敘事，使整體呈現從日常穿戴物件轉換為具象徵性的輕量化武器形態之過程，並展現虛擬文化、設計轉譯與當代材料語言之間的連結關係。
