As a creator, Chih Yi derives inspiration from life, with creative ideas often originating from her own emotions, the interconnectedness with nature, and the realm of imagination. Proficient in employing a variety of media, including acrylic pigments and ink, she combines these with other materials in her artwork.

From initially exploring her personal emotional connections to later navigating the challenges posed by the rampant spread of the COVID-19 pandemic, Chih Yi’s artistic output during the quarantine period was prolific. Her intention was to infuse her creations with a healing effect, seeking to transcend the prevailing loneliness through the avenue of artistic expression.

In her works, she introduces materials beyond traditional acrylic pigments, such as paper and fabric. The recurring presence of deliberate folds, uneven surfaces, and fissures in these materials symbolizes the setbacks and challenges encountered in life. Through the use of gentle colors and brushstrokes, Chih Yi seeks to convey the notion that, ultimately, we can overcome these adversities.
