無論是以繪畫、裝置或影像的方式創作，何采柔的作品試圖以局部分解的動作、日常習慣的切片與豐富迷離的光影，來呈現人與現實之間某種既親密又疏離的緊張關係。而這些獨特而強烈的創作一方面包圍著觀眾，卻又與其保持對峙的狀態，讓日常的片刻成為了一道風景或儀式。

作品以「搖籃」和「圍欄」二者疊義之意象，讓人反思自身所在，特別是面對COVID-19的疫情危機中人與人的「接觸／隔離」、社會的「開放／封閉」以及「連結／疏離」的新定義。這件作品看似區隔了兩端，但由於它的互動、可親性，又模糊了界限，重新探測彼此的距離，也讓人重新看見生活中種種「關係」的形成。

Joyce Ho works across diverse mediums from painting, video, to installation. By integrating the deconstruction of movements and fragmentation of daily rituals with rich and illusory light and shadow, the artist demonstrates the intimate and isolating tensions between people and reality. The artist’s unique and powerful work simultaneously captivates her viewers while keeping them in a state of confrontation, rendering the quotidian action depicted in her work as a momentary ritual.

This work prompts the viewer to reflect on their location through imagery that evokes the intersection of “cradle” and “fence,” specifically in light of the ways in which “contact/distance” between the self and the other; “openness/shutdown” within a society; and ideas of “connection/distanced” – have been redefined in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The work ostensibly sets the two extremes apart, but these boundaries are blurred by the work’s interactive and approachable character, which prompts a reexamination of the distance between the two, enabling the viewer to reconsider the formation of various “relationships” in daily life.
