Every Wish Answered 有求必應

Every Wish Answered captures a tender, layered moment from rural Taiwan between the 1930s and 1950s. In a time when families placed deep faith in divine protection, elders would visit temples to pray for peace and harmony at home.

In this scene, a grandfather kneels in focused devotion before the Earth God’s shrine. Beside him, his grandson imitates his gestures—partly out of curiosity, partly in anticipation of the treat that will follow. A dog sits nearby, eyes fixed on the child, patiently waiting for leftovers or scraps that might come its way.

Each figure seeks something different, yet they all share the same quiet hope. The work is both heartfelt and playful, reflecting a rhythm of life where faith, family, and simple joys were deeply intertwined. As the grandson follows the grandfather’s movements, the piece also speaks to the beauty of tradition passed from one generation to the next.
