Modern people often think of dogs as their pets, taking it seriously to care for them and seeing them as their own “fur kids”; besides, they are also trained to serve as working dogs by human beings to develop their instinct ability in the support of mankind. Drug detector dogs, rescue dogs and guide dogs are the examples common to all.
The creator has been raising dogs since she was young and these dogs have also been accompanying her with close bond of affection all the way through adulthood. During many years’ experience in feeding pets, she has read many books and reports to enrich her knowledge in relation with taking good care of her pets. However, while she looking at the entire society, many people whothink of themselves as dog-loving persons still mistakenly treat dogs in the ways that are used to care for human, which may result in irreparable harm for pets on account that those opinionatedly regard their doings as correct methods. At the first stage of the creator’s experimental exhibition, she focuses on the topic “the myth in taking care of pets” and launches a series of illustration creations for the purpose of letting viewers, furthermore, think about how to appropriately look after pets through the illumination from her exquisite sketches.
People give dogs care and dogs also devote their loyalty to people with their whole life span in return. Dogs are not only human’s spiritual support, but some of them are also trained by mankind to serve as working dogs to bring their unique olfactory sensation and perception into work. In addition, dogs are human’s good helpers and nice partners that comfort people’s souls. Meanwhile, they teach many people to be able to take notice of the things that human beings have never paid attention to. On the contrary, the mankind who take themselves as the lord of creation presumably suppose that they dominate those dogs, demanding the animals often but forgetting to reflect over their mistakes. As a result, at the second stage the creator’s exhibition, she interprets subtle interactions between human and dogs by depicting a story to explore multiple possibilities about working dogs. In the end, the key point is to convey that people have to gently deal with the relationship between them and working dogs.
Through the display of these series of works, the creator hopes to let people realize the influence that dogs have brought to them and learn that the tip for getting along with each other lies in mutual trust and aid. More importantly, we have to handle dogs in proper ways to ensure dogs better care as well as more protection.
