Wang shared that over the past few years, she has received numerous invitations from around the globe. From the excitement at the beginning to the calmness now, she takes pride in not only sharing her own ideas with the world, but also finding fulfillment in contributing to society as an artist. "The Mother as a Creator" has been invited to various countries, shining a light on the often-overlooked role of motherhood, challenging conventional definitions, and uncovering the boundless creativity of mothers. "My ultimate goal is to give mothers the rightful place they deserve in human history," Wang said.
Taiwan is a pioneer for gender equality in Asia. Wang's "The Mother as a Creator" project is an example of this. Created by Wang twenty-two years ago, the project has continued to evolve, showcasing the ability of Taiwanese artists to offer contemporary perspectives on women's issues and stay attuned to current trends. Wang will join the show in New York.
