透過《撕開》這件作品來探討人不是一個，而是許多個。人並沒有一個永久不變的"我"或自我。人無時無刻不在變化。一時是這樣一個人，另一時刻是另外一個人 ，再過一下子，又是第三個人，如此變化下去，幾乎沒有終了。
從對自己說謊或自欺作為基礎而開始，每個人都有試圖偽裝自己的時刻，但人必須知道自己擁有什麼，自己沒有什麼，也就是說，人必須明白自己並沒有那些自以為擁有的性質，《撕開》這件作品就是想表現人無時無刻都在改變自我，包誇實體的改變與無形外在所形成的改變，但透過尋找永遠不變的自我以及自我的意識和意志，將其餘的偽裝撕開留下真正的本我。
The work “Torn” explores the fact that there is not one human being, but many. There is no permanent “I” or self. People change all the time. At one moment they are this person, at another moment they are another person, and after a while they are a third person, and so on and so forth, with almost no end in sight.
Starting from lying to oneself or deceiving oneself as a basis, everyone has moments when he/she tries to disguise himself/herself, but he/she must know what he/she has and what he/she doesn't have, that is to say, he/she must realize that he/she doesn't have those qualities he/she thinks he/she has, and that is what the work Torn Away tries to show that man is changing himself/herself all the time, exaggerating the change of the physical body and the change of the invisible exterior, but by searching for the ego and self-consciousness, he/she is never changing. But by searching for the ever-changing self, its consciousness and will, we tear away the rest of the disguise and leave the true self behind.
