“People Will Say I am a Monster with What I Have Done” shows a gum chewing video and a set of mixed media objects placed in a refrigerator. Inspired by a Japanese novel “GOTH” written by Otsuichi, the leading character in the story slightly has Hand fetishism, his target no matter human (male, female, old, young), animal (cat, dog), or even puppet hand, the infatuation towards the “palm” makes him to cut the attractive palms, he then places those palms neatly inside the refrigerator at home for collection and appreciation. The artist reconstructs the narrative into a rather harrowing and yet very delicate scenery comes into first sight. Through the act of gum chewing, Mok used the chewed gum as a special processed media to create mold finger pieces which almost look like specimen on display.
A collection of mold fingers and various objects related to hands are carefully displayed with a gesture of documentation, stimulating a strong visual of their relations, and challenge the audience to observe these substances in a different perspective. The presentation of the work creates a strong visual sensation, integrating research, documentation, imagination and reconstruction into her very own visual language. The rather bizarre subject matter however reveals a different aspect of aesthetic.
《人們總說我犯下了惡魔般的罪行》展出一段「我」咀嚼口香糖的錄像，以及多組由不同現成物件拼湊在一起的「物件」，整齊的陳列在透明的玻璃層架上，全都放置於那個白皙又帶點古舊的冰箱之內。作品以日本小說家乙一的小說《GOTH 斷掌事件》作為創作藍本，書中主角自小有戀手癖，對象不論人類(男、女、老、青)、動物(貓、狗)、甚至玩偶的手，對於「手掌」的喜愛令他把漂亮的手掌切下，並整齊的放在家中的冰箱作收藏及欣賞。藝術家透過作品重構故事文本，創作藴含著極細緻卻帶有驚憟感的場面，往往令觀衆留下深刻的第一印象；並透過咀嚼的行為得到大量的口香糖為物料，製作及展示像真度有如標本的倒模斷指。
一系列的倒模斷指及其他有關「手」的物件以記錄的方式井然有序地排列展示，引發強烈的想象空間，同時挑戰觀衆觀察物件本質的角度。作品把資料搜集丶記錄丶想象及重構再整合，建築成一種獨特的視覺語言。它描寫隱藏於「殘忍」背後的「美」，用「唯美」去包裝「恐怖」，令那看似詭秘奇異的主題詮譯了另一種美學的觀念。
