Inner Walls 牆內

‘What lingered inside me?
 The Walls.

That world was enclosed by walls.’

Haruki Murakami, Hard-Boiled Wonderland and the End of the World.

In To Yan King Jenny’s exhibition, idea Influenced by Haruki Murakami’s Hard-Boiled Wonderland and the End of the World, a novel she finished reading during her daily commute, she explored the subconscious and the duality of reality. She reimagined everyday architectural elements in MTR stations—walls, columns, corridors, stairs—into a series of paintings. Inspired by the repetitive rhythm of her daily commute, she searched for possibilities within these familiar spaces that interest her.

To Yan King Jenny (b. 2002) paints unsettling visions inspired by post-apocalyptic and horror-themes, exploring tension, eerie and isolation atmospheres. She tries to blend emotional storytelling with spatial dynamics, reflecting her fascination with environments.

「有什麼打動了我的心。

是牆。

那個世界是被牆圍起來。」


村上春樹，世界末日與冷酷異境

陶欣琼是次展覽的靈感來自村上春樹的小說《世界末日與冷酷異境》，她在通勤時讀完這本書，從中探索潛意識與現實的二元性。以地鐵站日復一日掠過的建築結構——牆、柱子、走廊、梯間——構想為一系列畫作。受到日常通勤重複節奏的啟發，她在這些熟悉的空間中尋找的可能性。

陶欣琼 (b. 2002) 以油畫探索後末日與恐怖主題影響的不安景象，探索緊張、詭異與孤獨的氛圍。她著迷於環境空間，嘗試將情感敘事與空間結合。
