"Nude Kid Kills Parents takes the viewer through a visual odyssey, one man's hopeless search for a matter of satisfaction or contentment. Dressing and undressing the body in symbols of restriction, Kuohao creates a constantly self-reflective visual identity. Juxtaposing relaxed materials with rigid ones, the viewer visualises a tactile experience within his dichotomous emotional turmoil. Once soft and malleable, his battered innocence cloaks itself in the sartorial narrative he so desparately wishes to escape. Kuohao artfully shifts the gaze onto both the male body and the auteur, challenging the viewer to engage with such externalised vulnerability contrasted against critical, almost forced, self-reflection."
