“ My Mind Is Growing Muscles”(2022) depicts a vase with strong human muscles, wearing a sweater. Inspired by British diver Tom Daley’s knitting works, the painting aims to talk about icon culture and judgments based on gender, body, and other stereotypes. I questioned whether he represents a kind of specific symbol based on gay people, just like some female symbols, which are mostly bound up with misogyny in Asian cultural backgrounds and political events.
