JING YOU SOLO EXHIBITION

In Your Own Orbit

We are like beings of boundless potential, moving along the trajectories we believe in, slowly and steadily weaving our own universe through time.

The Moon Orchid is one of the most distinctive symbols in Jing You’s work. This cocoon-shaped bud, marked by a single fissure, resembles a universe in formation. It is Jing’s interpretation of herself, and of the relationships that form between people.

It represents a state of becoming rather than completion—not a flower in full bloom, but one in the process of opening. Much like us, it reflects a continual journey toward who we are still learning to become.

Between people, it is as if two vast universes exist side by side, inevitably drawn toward one another by mutual gravity. We often gaze at the lives of others—from afar, with admiration or envy—and over time, their presence may alter our paths, reshaping the form of our own inner universe.

When faced with the powerful pull of another, what matters most is to remain in motion along our own orbit, to withstand each moment of attraction, and to leave behind a trajectory that is unmistakably our own.

你是你的宇宙

「我們就像是一個擁有無限可能的能量體，朝著自己相信的軌道行進，並用時間緩緩地、堅定地編織出自己的宇宙。」

月相蘭花 (Moon Orchid) 是 Jing You 的創作中最鮮明的標誌，這個帶有一條裂縫的繭型花苞，彷彿一
個待成形的宇宙，是 Jing 對自己以及對人與人之間的關係所做的解讀。

它代表著一個未完成的狀態，不是綻放的花朵、而是邁向開花的進行式，如同我們從未停止探索自己想要成為的樣貌。

人與人之間像是兩個巨大的宇宙，最終都會被彼此的引力拉扯和吸引。

就像我們總是遙望他人的生活，也許羨慕、也許忌妒，在時間的推進下，我們都有可能因他人的影響而改變自己，在最後，改變了自我宇宙的型態。

面對他人巨大的引力，我們必須做的，永遠是盡力地航行在自己的軌道上、克服每一次被牽引的瞬間，留下屬於自己的軌跡。
