Metal Odyssey is an exhibition that serves as a meeting ground between "life stories" and "audiences." It combines the imagery of travel—suitcases and the experiences of patients (cases)—through the medical records of the artists and their family members. It delves into the traces of memories in life and reshapes our understanding of intimate familial relationships. The "metal" in the theme symbolizes medical instruments related to illness, and as the authority of these devices grows,[2] the artwork delves deeper into the evolving relationship between the artist and caregiving. It emphasizes the intermediary role of metal instruments in medical cases while subtly hinting at the creative spark between the artist and curator, much like the traces left by a journey.

This exhibition revisits and reinterprets medical records, presenting a "documentary gesture" to portray the process of recovery as observed by others or as a personal journey from illness to healing. It draws an analogy to the "Odyssey" from Homer's epic, representing a challenging, lengthy, and perilous journey while also representing return, wisdom, courage, and resilience. The artworks further highlight the metallic sheen that emerges from the intersection of art and reality.
