KAN unfolds the human mind and a sense of alienation in her works, and observed by the absent spectators from afar. KAN continues the exploration of human psychoanalysis and boundaries between life and death. Her new works depict still life from observation of her surroundings - vegetation beside her studio, monastery and cemetery. While the previous series consist of sleeping figures, this time KAN focuses on still life of greeneries. As different as it may seems, both her paintings of lifeless figure and still life are shadowed by shades of green, a colour KAN finds closely related to dead, illness and healing.

簡喬倩於新作中展示了人類的潛意識及疏離感，探索人類心理及生死的界線。藝術家過往的作品多描繪寢卧的人物，而新作則將焦點轉移至靜態的植物。 從工作室窗外的樹木至寺院和墓地的植物，她都細膩地觀察其形態並放進畫裡。繪畫了無生氣的人物與靜態的植物對簡來說如出一轍，同樣是一種靜止的狀態。無論是繪物或繪人，藝術家的作品都被綠色所翳 - 是一種她認為與死亡疾病及治癒密切相連的顏色。
