等你回來, 2024

4,500 sandalwood incense sticks, bronze.
4’ x 8’ x 12”
 Rooted in a familial fracture, Dennis Lin’s recent work seeks to preserve fragments of a past that feel increasingly fragile. In an effort to signal his presence amidst a profound sense of alienation, Lin has collected and tended to culturally and personally nostalgic materials to rebuild ties to his heritage and its culture—a connection made even more urgent by the geopolitical pressures threatening the existence of Taiwanese identity.

This body of work is equally concerned with the meticulous techniques of conservation and the emotional weight of hoarding—gathering, saving, and tending to what will otherwise be lost. His journey back to Taiwan and its history answers silent queries about his existence as a Taiwanese-Canadian, while his creative process merges with the profound and often painful legacy of his heritage.
