This project centres on the “hidden children” affected by China’s One-Child Policy. Using the image of the abandoned baby, the immersive installation explores themes of silence, absence, and memory through sculptural language. The unlit candle-baby embodies fragility and the sense of a life that existed but was never fully “seen.” The uncut umbilical cord acts as a scar—both a trace of life and a mark of rupture. Nearby, a temperature-sensitive card gently reveals forgotten stories when touched, inviting emotional connection and reflection on those erased by history.

该项目以中国计划生育政策背景下的“隐匿儿童”为核心，以“弃婴”形象构建沉浸式雕塑装置，通过暖色卡片、遮挡布装置、蜡烛雕像等视觉语言，引发公众对这群因体制而失语的个体的关注与反思。
展览中的蜡烛婴儿雕像尚未被点燃，却自带脆弱的属性，象征着这些生命虽然曾经存在，却从未被真正
“照亮”。覆盖在蜡像上的脐带状装置，如同一道未愈合的伤疤，既是生命的痕迹，更是一种断裂。一旁的暖色卡片，以微弱的温度唤醒那些被历史忽略的故事。
