当我来到这里（第一部分）

The umbrella rack, shaped like the neurodiversity symbol, was created based on the artist’s own daily experiences of Asperger’s syndrome:“People gather in a space. I arrive, not knowing whether to stand closer or further away. I don’t want to leave or hide. I continue, alone. I open an umbrella. A stable distance and time-space appears. I can be safely here—not too close, not too far.” This piece reflects the desire of an autistic woman to remain among others—not to avoid the crowd, but to be part of it, and to immerse herself in the moment. In facing the tension between her limitations and longings, she envisions a form of care and grounding for herself.

Instructions for use: You are welcome to borrow an umbrella from the rack as you continue through the exhibition. It can help shield your body and gaze. Please be mindful not to bump into others or artworks with the umbrella’s tip. When finished, you may return it to the rack, leave it at the gallery entrance, or hand it to a staff member.
