This piece embodies my deep reflections on the White Paper Movement. I deliberately chose red, white, and touches of yellow as the primary colors for creating this zinbook. These colors are not just a visual choice but carry deeper symbolic meanings. Red represents the dual nature of resistance and oppression, white symbolizes purity and silent protest, and yellow serves as a hint of hope or a warning.

In this work, I used lab mice as a metaphor for ordinary people facing power. These mice represent individuals who, even after breaking free from their cages, are still unable to escape the fate of being punished. Through this imagery, I aim to reveal the sense of helplessness and struggle that people feel under overwhelming oppression. This is not just a reflection on the fate of individuals but also a profound contemplation of the broader social environment.

I hope that through the use of these colors and symbolic elements, I can convey the complex emotions and thoughts behind the piece, allowing viewers to feel the power and depth of the message it carries.
