Maria series: Authentic & vulnerable

¥150,000

2022.8
Oil on canvas 
53 x 65 cm

In Authentic & Vulnerable, Lin depicts Maria holding the child Jesus in a style reminiscent of stained-glass windows. Maria gazes forward with a resigned yet steadfast expression, embodying her acceptance of the inner work required to become her most authentic self, even at the cost of vulnerability. By contrast, Jesus averts his eyes, symbolizing the masculine energy’s reluctance to confront inner growth for fear of exposing fragility. Here, Maria represents the collective feminine energy, which Lin sees as having advanced far in inner work, while Jesus embodies the masculine energy, still resistant and spiritually immature. These energies transcend biological gender.

在《真實與脆弱》一作中,林以彩繪玻璃般的風格描繪瑪利亞懷抱聖嬰耶穌。瑪利亞凝視前方,神情既認命又堅毅,象徵她已經接受了為成為最真實的自己而必須付出的內在功課,即便這意味著暴露自身的脆弱。相對之下,耶穌卻移開視線,象徵男性能量因害怕脆弱被揭露而抗拒面對內在成長。在此,瑪利亞代表集體女性能量,林認為其在內在修煉上已經走得很遠並取得成果;而耶穌則象徵集體男性能量,仍抗拒功課,顯得靈性上較為幼稚。這裡所指的能量超越生理性別。
