The word “inspiration” goes straight to the heart of art and creation, and it represents a moment of epiphany, a spark of thought, and a unique way of perceiving the world. In philosophy, art, psychology, and other fields, inspiration is seen as an intuitive insight that goes beyond rational analysis, triggering deep emotional resonances and even shaping new ways of knowing.

The choice of “Inspiration” as the name of the curatorial group means that the team focuses on the thought process behind the creation of art, emphasizing experimentation, openness, and exploration. It is not only a momentary inspiration, but also a continuous thinking practice, allowing people to find meaning in the intersection of perception, memory, culture, and emotion.
