Tai Ming-Te's works reflect contemporary social observations. Through diverse techniques such as symbolism, metaphor, and fiction, he deconstructs and reconstructs everyday objects, transforming them into totems and symbols imbued with profound meaning. The artist keenly captures the phenomena around him, with his works beginning as doodles on sketch drafts and gradually evolving into visual expressions that integrate social phenomena.
