Blinded 盲人
盲人（2024）结合了沉浸式体验和实验影像，探索了在相知相识的恋爱过程中，爱情产生的根源以及人们如何通过想象来塑造彼此的形象。作品揭示了爱情的产生在很大程度上是基于个体对对方的想象，而非真实的认知。我们在恋爱中，往往通过有限的接触来描绘对方的形象，这个形象带有‘爱’的滤镜。这种自发性的‘爱’让我们进入了一种“失明”的状态，忽视了对方真实的模样，甚至愿意为对方牺牲一切。
艺术家邀请了四位参与者，将他们的恋爱关系分为相似和不同的两对，邀请他们体验爱情产生的各个阶段。具体阶段包括：
认识自我：通过反思自身的需求、期望和内心世界，了解自己在爱情中的定位。
触摸爱人：通过触觉来感知对方，建立初步的情感联系。
想象爱人：根据触觉和有限的信息，想象对方的模样和性格。
描绘爱人：用心中的滤镜描绘出对方的形象。
看见爱人：揭开滤镜，直面真实的对方。
磨合爱人：在真实和理想之间找到平衡，适应彼此。
有意思的是，当我们逐渐在不同情境下看到对方与我们的期待有所不同的时候，每个人做出的选择往往具有极强的个人特征。这一过程中，个体的反应和决策反映了他们内心深处对爱情和自我的理解。
通过这些阶段，该项目不仅让参与者深刻体会到爱情的复杂性和多面性，也让观众反思自身在爱情中的感受和行为。这是一次关于爱情与认知的深刻探索，邀请每一个人去思考，究竟什么是真正的爱。

Blinded (2024)
The project Blinded (2024) combines immersive experiences and experimental imagery to explore the origins of love in the process of getting to know and understand each other. It reveals that love is largely based on individuals' imagination of the other person.
In relationships, we often use limited interactions to shape the image of the other person, with this image being filtered through the lens of 'love.' This spontaneous 'love' leads us into a state of blindness, ignoring the true nature of the other person and even willing to sacrifice everything for them.
The artist has invited four participants, dividing their romantic relationships into similar and different pairs, to experience the various stages of love's development. These stages include:
Self-Discovery: Reflecting on one's own needs, expectations, and inner world to understand one's position in love.
Touching the Beloved: Using touch to perceive the other person and establish an initial emotional connection.
Imagining the Beloved: Imagining the appearance and personality of the other person based on touch and limited information.
Depicting the Beloved: Painting a picture of the other person through the filter of love in one's mind. Seeing the Beloved: Removing the filter and facing the true nature of the other person.
Adjusting to the beloved: Finding a balance between reality and ideals, and adapting to each other.
Interestingly, as we progressively see the other person in different contexts and find that they differ from our expectations, the choices individuals make are highly characteristic of their personal traits. This process reflects their deep understanding of love and self.
Through these stages, "Blinded" allows participants to deeply experience the complexity and multifaceted nature of love, encouraging the audience to reflect on their own feelings and behaviors in relationships. This is a profound exploration of love and cognition, inviting everyone to ponder what true love really is.
