My Nai 《我的奶》(2025) 
Plaster Wire Gauze

This work comprises multiple sets of breast forms cast in plaster, all taken from my own body and juxtaposed upon a single plane. Stripped of temperature, tactility and individual variation, the body is transformed into a series of formal traces that can be arranged, compared and observed.
The creative impetus for this piece stems from my prolonged observation of my grandmother's physical condition.
‘NAI’ carries a dual meaning here: it refers both to the bodily part bearing the functions of nurturing and gendered imagination, and to the positional identity of this elder woman in my life within the family and the passage of time.
In intergenerational transmission, the body does not belong solely to the individual; rather, it is continually imbued with functions, responsibilities, and expectations across different stages of life.
These casts are neither self-display nor a reproduction of my grandmother's body, but rather a response—through my own body—to the physical roles and states of exhaustion she endured.
The work seeks to preserve, between private experience and generational memory, an as- yet-unnamed bodily state.
