Purr & Roll

Purr & Roll, 2025
Watercolor & ink
16"x12"

Taiwan’s food culture has been deeply influenced by Japanese cuisine. The conveyor belt sushi culture in Taiwan began in 1996. Various types of sushi are placed on a rotating belt, allowing customers to freely pick their favorites as the dishes pass by. This unique dining experience quickly gained popularity in Taiwan, which inspired me to create a conveyor belt sushi cat restaurant using shredded paper. The walls are adorned with vintage Japanese print posters. Every small detail is carefully hand-painted in watercolor. This is also the final piece I created for this exhibition, and one of the reasons I chose to use shredded paper was to respond to the creative concept of the first piece in this series, which was also made using shredded paper.
