對所有人來說，今年要能相遇，比起以往多了許多挑戰性。
然而我們也展現了足夠的智慧與想像；也許是以更溫和的態度去相遇、去體會親密無間的樣子。
2020年上半，有好幾個月的時間無法外出，我只能就近待在我的出生地，一個法國東部小村莊裡，除了經常在花園裡活動，我幾乎一度是靜止的。離家生活了十年後，又重新回到這個從嬰兒時期開始生活了18年的地方，感覺幾乎像是第一次到訪。
今年也是我的作品第一次在我缺席的情況下，自由地前往台灣，期待它們能夠閑適地與你相遇。希望這些創能夠引起微笑，為你心上帶來一些溫暖。儘管我不在現場，但是每一條筆觸、每張剪紙的弧線和拼貼都有我的情感、我的精神存於其上。
這是我們的首次相遇，謝謝你的到來。
〈Meeting〉包含了2015年至2020年在紙上和畫布上的各種作品，其中包括Tea Vessel, Safe Space, Cocooning等系列。

This year meeting might be more challenging, and so for all of us.
Yet, we present ourselves with resourceful and perhaps more gentle manners to encounter and unite, also with our selves.
In 2020, I spent months with no movements other than those of my body in the village where I was born, I was for once rather still, frequently in the garden. It was as if I met this small village in eastern France, where I had spent the first eighteen years of my life, anew, so after living abroad for a decade.
This year is a first for the artworks I created for, without me, freely travel to Taiwan to meet you, awaiting filled with joy for you to meet them, that it is if you have a moment. I hope they will make you smile, and bring some warmth to your heart. Despite my physical absence, my emotional and spiritual presence is held with each brushstroke and every line of paper that I cut and assembled. This is the first time we will meet, thank you for coming.
Meeting presents various works on paper and canvas from 2015 to 2020. Including the series Tea Vessel, Gestures of Love and Cocooning.
