My theme is that Gen Z sees itself as a commodity. In this society, competition and performance are overemphasized and everyone is exploiting themselves. Now, only what gets attention has value, so we treat ourselves as commodities. My theme is that Gen Z sees itself as a commodity. It is because in Generation Z I find that spiritual internal friction is very serious, and this phenomenon is caused by the current era of a "merit society". My elements are gaze, information, and pressure. I choose eyeballs to represent ourselves, when we go outside to read these messages, we dress ourselves up in colours, hoping to get others' praise. I chose the big and small balls to represent all kinds of information we see in the Internet age, which is also selected and limited. The hand covering the eyes represents the present age, in which it is ourselves who exploit us, who cause our internal friction, who drive us to death, which is the main cause of our internal friction.

There are a lot of Generation X managers, so parents of this generation generally have a very serious sense of crisis. It means that parents have a lot of constraints on their children, and management is very strict. This leads to a weak sense of boundary between parents and children, which has a lot of negative effects on children's development. The keywords I chose were overfocused, pain, growth, and closure. The rose represents the over-concerned protection of Generation X Chinese parents when we were growing up, and this blurred line is a double-edged sword.

The sharp stick stands for the trouble that boundary-sensitive parents bring to their children. The stacked blocks represent us as we grow. The burning paper tube stands next to the box. The paper tube represents the mother's attention to us and keeps us tightly enclosed. The sharp edges of the paper represent the weak sense of boundary for Generation X as parents, who think that the protection of our airtight air is good, while the burning represents our resistance and misunderstanding formed by persistent parents.

In contemporary society, young people often face a common problem: how to balance the protection and affection of their parents while pursuing independence and personal autonomy. This issue not only involves personal growth and development, but also relates to the stability of family relationships, so it is an issue at needs serious thinking and resolution. The keywords I chose were love, imbalance and protection. The ribbon symbolizes the protection of our parents, who surround us with nothing. The relationship between us and our parents is like a ribbon that needs a good balance.

The cross represents love and redemption. The cross itself should be symmetrical, but it is difficult to pursue balance in love. So I used scattered bars, unbalanced love can become a sharp sword, so I turned the head into a sharp triangle. We are the flowers in the garden. This pergola represents our parents' protection.
