Beneath ‘I’ features a fragmented Chinese sentence:“ ？ ”(meaning ‘if I am not me, will you still like me?’). Each character is painted in blue pigment and partially obscured. It becomes legible only when aligned with the contours of the standardised printed character “ 我 ” (meaning ‘I’ or ‘me’) beneath it. This layered structure creates tension between the institutionalised “I” and the complex subject of the individual, revealing language as both a channel of expression and a boundary of power—where the existence of the subject is both enabled and constrained by language.
