"Outside The Plan" originally means "unplanned," here alluding to my unexpected birth. The transliterated "Odyssey" in this work both refers to "me" and suggests a tortuous and adventurous life.

Odyssey Brien is my first attempt, as a bystander, to re-examine and present 28 years of my life. I divided it into four stages by timeline: ages 0–7 (The Secret in the Closet), 8–14 (The Mirror), 15–21 (Looking for Odyssey Brien), and 22–28 (The Woman Who Married Herself). In terms of presentation, the work is divided into six parts: cast list, script, script installation, painting installation, video, and readymade installation.

When I began this work over a year ago, I initially tried to construct "me" piece by piece through the process of looking back, integrating the personality I had formed since childhood. But when I one day realized that this "self" was something particularly dangerous, I shifted from "self-completion" to "self-dissolution." The completion of the work became the moment of farewell to "me."

“Outside The Plan” 原意是“计划外”，在这里则暗指我意外的出生；而音译的“奥德赛”在这件作品里既代指“我”，又暗示了曲折而冒险的一生。

《奥德赛.布莱恩》这部作品是我第一次作为一个旁边者的身份，重新观看自己 28 年生活的一次呈现。我把它从时间节点上 分为四个阶段，分别为：0~7 岁（《柜子里的秘密》），8~14 岁（《镜子》），15~21 岁（《寻找奥德赛.布莱恩》）,22~28 岁（《嫁给自己的女人》）。从作品的内容呈现上上分为六个部分，分别为：演员表，剧本，剧本装置，绘画装置，影像，现成品装置。

一年多前当我着手于这部作品的时候，起初我试图在这个回望的过程中一点点搭建“我”，整合我自童年时代就已形成的性格 ；但当有一天意识到这个“我”是特别危险的时候，转而把“自我完成”变为“自我解体”，作品完成之际便是与“我”告别 之际。
