A museum handout informs that Tseng is interested in questioning the weakening power of tradition within the family and community in a rapidly changing Taiwan. His atmospheric film seems to also riff on social conditioning and awakening consciousness during a toddler's formative years in a strictly structured society.

At the Frost, this meditative and compelling show not only offers an opportunity to discover a group of artists rarely encountered in these climes, but also demonstrates the museum's commitment to continue showcasing the best of contemporary Asian art and its ascending role on the global stage.
