从八孩母亲铁链女的事情时我就开始思考，母亲这一角色在社会中的位置和意义。

​

    铁链女被人拐卖进山村，为其“丈夫”生育了八个小孩，却被在脖子上套上铁链，拴在漏风漏雨的动物棚屋里。在这件事情中，她存在的意义就是提供子宫，为“丈夫”传宗接代。生命曾在她身体里长大，但一旦她完成分娩，这些孩子就与她没有了关系，孩子们从不将她视为母亲。她只是容器，用来容纳孵育，用完即弃之。

​

    我在二手店买到了一个精致的陶瓷杯盖，杯盖上有薄薄的陶瓷花瓣和叶子，只是一个杯盖，不知道杯身被人遗弃到了哪里。我想象着，那个男人买“妻子”和我买这个杯盖时的心情会有什么相似之处呢？我想模拟这位母亲被贩卖的暴力过程。回家后，我把杯盖砸碎，用金属丝把陶瓷碎片绑住，用最简单粗暴的方式逼得陶瓷碎片与金属碎片构成一个碗的形状。碗是用来盛装食物的容器，但这样强行组装起的碗，满是尖锐的边和漏洞，在暴力摧毁了陶瓷花瓣后我们真的有所得吗？

​

    The chained woman was trafficked into a village and gave birth to eight children for her "husband", only to be chained in a leaky animal shack. In this case, the meaning of her existence was to provide a womb to carry on the family name for the man. Life had grown inside her, but once she finished giving birth, the children had no more to do with her. The children never saw her as their mother. She was merely the vessel for incubation and was discarded once she was used up.

​

    In the thrift store, I bought a delicate lid with thin ceramic petals and leaves. It was only the lid of a cup, and I wondered where the original body was. I was wondering when buying this lid, was the man thinking the same when he bought his "wife" ? I wanted to simulate the violence of this human trafficking case. When I got home, I smashed the lid and tied the ceramic pieces with metal wire. In the simplest and most violent way, I forced the fragments of ceramic and metal to form a bowl shape. A bowl is a container used to hold food, but a bowl assembled by violence in this way, is full of sharp edges and holes. After violently destroying the ceramic petals did we really get anything out of the process?
