ABOUT THIS PERSON
She's an artist who wanders in her own world.
Probably, most of the time, I don't know, lol.
She is arrogant and highly egotistical, just like all humans.
She likes to hide behind her work and doesn't like to show herself too much.
Even in her visual work, she habitually puts up layers of barriers to force people to guess what she wants to say.
But when people actually ask her in person,
"What does your work mean?"
She gets mad.
HOW DOES SHE THINK HERSELF?
Hum.
I come from a yard where a pomegranate tree grows.
People had to be extra careful in the fall when passing under the tree, ensuring the pomegranates did not break off dead branches and fall on their heads.
Branches spread, connecting the entire yard roof and serving as a bridge for the cats. I used to raise a stool to provide a spot for the young cats who had not yet learned to get down from the tree.
Beijing is a busy city, but my courtyard seems to be a quiet corner where even time slows down, like a turtle in a water tank.
I wonder if this environment has contributed to my personality today.
I’ve traveled to some places, but most of the time, I followed blindly, took photos, wrote travelogues, and got homesick.
I should have brought a sketchbook with me then.
I didn’t have any striking features, or rather, I didn’t really want to have them.
......
Exposing myself to other people’s eyes is not a good choice, and with the internet becoming increasingly advanced these days, I am even more convinced of that.
But I’ve always expected my work to be compelling, to take my place, to communicate what I’m thinking through the layers of curtains.
Well, yes, ok, I still want to be seen.
Inspirations come from dreams that everybody has, such as dreaming of killing someone, crawling in a cave with a lion cub, sitting in a subway station for an hour holding a box with two piglets, and dreaming that a sapling grew from an extracted tooth.
Most of these dreams dissipate into the wind with waking consciousness or not and then appear in my works in another form after a while.
Love this feeling.
It makes me feel like I am able to have moments of aura.
