In Excuse me, who are you?, Lin reimagines the Annunciation, a subject traditionally depicted with the angel towering above Mary as she passively accepts her divine fate. Here, however, Mary closes her eyes and raises her hand in refusal, shifting the balance of power. Instead of submission, she embodies autonomy, confronting the angel as an equal and questioning his intrusion: “Excuse me, who are you?” By reclaiming territorial awareness and the right to consent, Lin’s Mary symbolizes the awakening of collective feminine consciousness and the rejection of imposed destinies.

在《不好意思,你是誰?》這件作品中,林重新詮釋了「受胎告知」的場景——傳統宗教畫裡,天使往往高高在上,而瑪利亞只能被動接受神所安排的命運。然而在這裡,瑪利亞閉上雙眼,舉手示意拒絕,扭轉了權力的力學。她不再是順從的象徵,而是展現出自主性,平等地直面天使,質問對方的闖入:「不好意思,你是誰?」透過奪回領地意識與同意的權力,林筆下的瑪利亞象徵集體女性意識的覺醒與對被強加命運的拒斥。
