The main subject matter of this painting is a distorted bathtub with a hand and a green towel surrounding it. Through the playfulness shape and cartoonish color, I use a bit of sense of humor to describe how certain factors can alienize and dehumanize a general human into something else. All the elements in the paintings, except the hand, are treated and painted in a geometric and graphic way, which creates a bit of contrast with the hand that was deeply distorted by the water, yet still maintains an organic shape. The nearly perfect shapes and curvy lines are a general impression of what modern-industrialization gives me: everything that comes out of the factory line is nearly identical and yet maintains a horrify perfection since the day they were produced, this distinct feature perfectly suit, a fast developed society in which the general public has a skyrocketing demand for everything, everything can be easily acquired for a relatively affordable price. 

The bathroom, in the general idea, is a place for us to clean ourselves; the water element is always a symbol of cleansing since the beginning of human civilization; showering is one of the most intimate moments I consider as a human being in which we wash away the dirt. Yet, all of these things feel a bit different as the society invasively developed, in which, every day, there will be new types of shampoos, new designs of towels, and new designs of bathtubs, continuously rolling out. The only thing that still maintains their original state and factors maybe are our body and the water. However, most of the time, I feel that I have to surrender to the convenience of technology and industrialization, in which a simple act like showering can be haunting and alarming to fulfill without losing any part of my identity.

This piece is finished in Watercolor.

This is an abstract painting. I mainly use geometrical shapes in combine with certain organic figures to create a landscape-like finish.
