在裝置作品《一吸一呼》中，藝術家在場景堆疊起的紙箱上畫上人物，比喻我們為一件件生活上及工作上所需處理的事情所構成。工作總是不斷地重覆、永遠也完成不了似的，長期處於這種狀態下不期然形成了壓力和焦慮。裝置作品以三組紙箱組成，在箱與箱中間懸掛了宣紙作為一個停頓位。宣紙上的水墨圓點代表一吸一呼，代表要舒緩種種情緒壓力的重要性，提醒自己在生活或工作中，需要透過感受觀察自己每個呼吸，來放鬆繃緊的身體和思緒，以正面的心態面對壓力。

In the installation “Inhale. Exhale”, the artist draws several figures on the stacked cardboard boxes that have been laid out at the venue, to denote that lives constituted of tasks both at work and outside of work. These components of our ways of life are repetitive and never-ending, giving rise to stress and anxiety. The installation comprises of three separate stacks of boxes, each connected to the next with a piece of xuan paper – a “pause”. The ink dots on the paper symbolises inhalation and exhalation. The artwork reminds visitors the importance of de-stressing, that they should take a pause every now and then, both in life and at work, to feel and observe as they inhale and exhale, to relieve the tension in body and mind, and manage stress with positivity.

倪鷺露長期以水墨、油彩進行繪畫創作。她遵循中國水墨畫的傳統「意筆」— 使用簡單的筆觸憑直覺作畫。 倪氏通過個人經驗和觀察，藉筆墨探索和呈現人類身體與心理的相互關係—心理反應、動作和肢體語言。作品展示陰性能量的流動，帶動情感覺知及療癒。

Lulu Ngie’s longstanding practice primarily involves painting with ink and oil. Ngie follows “yi bi”, a tradition in Chinese ink painting, which uses simple strokes and draw by instinct. Created through her own experiences and observations, Ngie’s works explore and visualise the relationship between the human mind and the body - psychological reactions, physical actions and body languages, demonstrating a flow of feminine energy, and encourages emotional awareness and healing.
