Over the years, “Mr. Lin's art museum on the move” collects contemporary art and donated them to medical and cultural institutions in Taiwan, so as to promote contemporary art and bring art into people’s lives. Through art and beauty, it wishes to improve the well-being of lives and the provide inner healings to people.

Peruvian artist Ana Teresa Barboza has long combined different artistic media and techniques, paying attention to the environment in Peru and the relationship between human and nature. Her work Aguas Calientes (2021) is an interweaving of a photographic image taken in Peru and the tapestry made in indigenous Peruvian weaving techniques. The geological and hydrological textures in the photo are extended into woven fabrics. The colors, lines allow the visual and tactile qualities of the work to communicate and echo with each other.
