Yinling Hsu’s chosen subject matter is human behavior, emotions, and mental states, and how these things can reflect a person’s existence in society, with every behavior being a vindication of someone’s existence. She transforms and superimposes these different states through her paintings. During her creative process, she explores the nature of humanity, and the close and alienated subtle connection between humans and their social environment.

The Eras in Bottles is a contemplation on how stressful it can feel to constantly remind yourself to relax. When creating this work, Yinling Hsu reflected on different relaxation techniques and found that they all shared the similar approach of using images to connect to the subconscious, bringing out subsequent sensory experiences to release inner stress. Through painting, the artist tries to recreate this process, reflecting on how visual images might evoke senses other than sight.
