Poster Design for documentary, Invisible Nation, 2025.
Invisible Nation is a documentary every Taiwanese should see. Without resorting to lofty discourse, it threads together the story of Taiwan with clarity and quiet poignancy. One striking scene captures the 2014 Nanjing Youth Olympics, Taiwanese athlete Huang Huai-Hsuan won gold in taekwondo. As the Chinese Taipei flag slowly rose, tears welled in her eyes — and in mine. I have no intention to presume what her tears were for; mine came from the ache of identity loss. For even when Taiwanese athletes devote their lives to excellence and triumph on the international stage, their country remains unacknowledged, their identity unrecognised.

This moment mirrors Taiwan itself:
a past deliberately obscured, a present deliberately overlooked, a future deliberately denied.
Yet what emerges throughout the film is resilience. On this island, despite adversity, there are always those who step forward, often quietly, to carry burdens for others. Taiwan drifts amid uncertainty, yet still advances, fragile in beauty, unyielding in spirit.
As in the movie Spirited Away, where Chihiro reclaims her stolen name with Haku’s help, Invisible Nation offers Taiwan a guide through histories long distorted, so that, one day, we may finally rediscover the path home.

《看不見的國家》電影主視覺，2025。
這是一部每個台灣人都應該看的紀錄片。沒有艱深論述，卻將台灣的故事脈絡梳理得清楚動人。片中有一幕，2014 年南京青奧，台灣選手黃懷萱在跆拳道項目奪得金牌，會場緩緩升起梅花旗。短短幾秒鐘，黃懷萱哭了，我也哭了。她為何哭，無意妄加揣測；而我之所以落淚，是因為那股強烈的委屈感。這些投注一生心血的運動員，即便在國際賽事上證明了自身實力，卻依然無法被世界正確認識，甚至被拒絕承認他們的國家。
這不正是台灣在各方面的縮影嗎？
我們的過去被刻意掩埋、我們的現在被刻意無視、我們的未來被刻意否定。
然而你也會看到，無論經歷多少考驗，這片土地上總有人前仆後繼，去為他人做那些吃力不討好的事。我們是這樣一個在波動中載浮載沉，卻總是努力邁出步伐、緩緩前進的小島。這份美麗格外脆弱，也格外堅韌。
《神隱少女》中，千尋被湯婆婆奪走了名字，但最終在白龍的幫助下，找回了自己的身份。而《看不見的國家》或許正是我們的白龍，幫助我們回憶那些不斷被篡改的歷史，讓我們終能找到回家的路。
