Concept
Monroe tames a fierce wild crocodile, transforming it into her exclusive mode of transportation through the jungle, blending adventure with a touch of glamour.The "crocodile" is a fierce creature, but in my work, Monroe successfully tames it, turning it into her means of transportation on the deserted island. I aim to enhance the intrigue of island life through this contrast, blending danger with playful adventure.

About the artist
Tu Hsin-Ying
杜信穎 (1995-)，畢業於國立臺北藝術大學美術系，以壓克力顏料作為主要創作媒材。
杜信穎的創作靈感來自安迪沃荷知名的版畫作品《瑪莉蓮夢露》。不像安迪沃荷的夢露是鎂光燈的焦點、名氣的象徵，杜信穎的夢露系列更像是一齣詼諧荒謬的喜劇表演。他筆下的夢露不再是風情萬種的性感女神，而如同你我一樣必須不斷對抗生活中的麻煩瑣事，不僅會發胖、沒工作、內衣褲還會被調皮的鸚鵡偷走。
飽和的色彩、搶眼的圖像與滑稽的敘事性構成了杜信穎創作的主旋律，在這個「夢露」時空裡面，觀眾可以跟著夢露一起去荒島度假，所有生活裡的荒謬、無能為力、不夠完美都能被理解。
