Jiao Xing (Heart to Heart), Irene Ho

In this artwork, I utilize a saturated color palette and overlapping hand gestures to cultivate a warm atmosphere that resonates with the close-knit community spirit intrinsic to Taiwanese indigenous people. The intentional use of a faded background imparts a dream-like quality to the image, subtly invoking the indigenous tradition of sharing, where the interconnectedness of hands symbolizes a culture deeply rooted in communal bonds and the collective spirit of togetherness.
