〈錦鯉醉荷〉，纖維棉布、繡線、棉襯，161.5x151.5cm ，2024
以魚戲蓮葉間的自然之趣，俗世願景的藝術形式表達，意旨無盡的喜悅與富足，是美好心靈的展現. 我們總能見到魚和蓮花的身影，魚兒遊玩蓮花池裡，畫面清雅靈動，趣意萌生，即表現出了人間的生活氣息，讓人觀之便感受到內心無盡的平靜。
蓮、荷花以其「出淤泥而不染」的特質，是對美好生活的渴望和寄託，不管是含苞待放，還是亭亭玉立。荷花都有別具一格的風采。添了一份清雅，與柔美。
魚因為潛行迅捷，視為天時地利的象徵，是生活安樂的象徵，也是藝術家不自身對寧靜生活的嚮往，而蓮花不但有著高潔清雅之意，當蓮葉舒展，露珠動，魚兒潛遊，便能給人帶來無限的吉祥祝福。
