In the Maria series, Lin reimagines Maria as a figure who embodies deity, human, mother, wife, and daughter—an archetype of the collective feminine. Drawing inspiration from Our Lady of Sorrows, this work portrays a Maria who transcends grief through self-healing. Her garments are adorned with plants, flowers, stars, and energetic symbols, while the concealed cross beneath her crown signifies liberation from rigid religious dogma and a deeper attunement to Earth, Gaia, and cosmic consciousness. Engaging with East Asia’s strict maternal expectations and the invisibility of fathers, Lin critiques patriarchy and envisions women sharing burdens historically imposed upon them with men.
在《瑪利亞》系列中，林將瑪利亞重新塑造成同時具備女神、人類、母親、妻子與女兒等多重面向的形象，作為「集體女性」的原型。作品靈感取自宗教名畫《悲傷聖母》，卻描繪出一位透過自我療癒而超越悲傷的瑪利亞。她的衣飾綻放著植物、花朵、星辰與能量符號，而皇冠下隱藏的十字架象徵她掙脫僵化的宗教教條，並更深地與大地、蓋婭及宇宙意識相契合。藉由回應東亞對母職的嚴苛期待與父親角色的缺席，林批判父權結構，並展望女性能與男性共同分擔歷史上加諸於她們的重擔。
