Your Sanctuary for Regeneration is an animated short in the form of a loop, shown to the audience through an installation experience.

The piece shows a journey through the birth and regeneration of a mother goddess within her temple. By harking back to goddess-worship and historical depictions of femininity, the piece creates an image of the divine feminine as a powerful concept, separate from the unnatural standards perpetuate through the development of the patriarchy. The artwork does so by assimilating a visual patch-work of through research into elements such as Venus Figurines and sacred geometry. Ultimately aiming to begin the formation of a discussion that considers the healing of feminine experience within our world.

TATA 是为纪录片： 安全距离 （Safe distance, Jamie Chi, 2021） 所作的开头动画影片。聚焦于疫情之下海外华人酷儿群体所面临的社会限制，TATA以手绘动画结合在热感纸上进行的实验性创作， 探索对LGBTQ群体的自我认同，作为华人在疫情中面对的污名与歧视的一系列视觉表达。 影片标题TATA取自Sound Artist 李金颖为本片所作的音乐片段， “Ta Ta”既是节拍，是“她/他“，也是每个个体，“他”与“他”之间的社会关系。

Animation TATA is a one-minute opening animation for a documentary project，Safe Distance (Jamie Chi, 2021). Combining hand-drawn animation and experimental printings on thermal papers, the animation film presents a series of visual puzzles exploring themes of gender, identity and discrimination. The title TATA comes from the music the sound artist JinYing Li composed for this film. As the personal pronouns for “She” and “He” both pronounce “Ta” in the Chinese language, “Ta Ta” in the animation is not just music beats, but also implying the relationship between genders and communities.
