I heard the animals in the forest are slowly disappearing. In the name of progress and development, deforestation took place in the jungle and the original habitats of the animals were destroyed in an unprecedented scale. The animals in the forest cannot adapt to the drastic change of the environment and heading towards extinction. The trees that once provide shelter for the animals got transformed into industrial product, then further turned into garbage and buried at the landfill in a very short time. Inside the memory of the animals that once lived in the forest, they would remember us as Destruction, Disappearance, and Death. These sculptures are made by recycled wooden crates, it encourage the viewer to sit inside and to look at our world from the animal’s perspective.
To Think About the Same Thing Twice 同一件事情想兩次, 2009
I often heard people say Do not think too much or You are thinking too much about it.Yet there is this old Chinese saying of Think thrice before you act. How many times one should think about the same issue? We often arrive at different perspectives of the same thing after thinking about it more than once. The event itself did not change; we do.
When we were a child, we used to follow our parents to Chinese restaurants. The conversations above the table were usually boring but the space underneath the table was exciting. We hid underneath and transformed the space into a playground of our own, running away from the grown ups. Now suddenly we become grown ups ourselves and those who used to be above the table are slowly disappearing one by one. This work is dedicated to those who used to play underneath the table and refuse to grow up.
Human being creates a lot of useful objects but at the same time left behind equally large amount of waste. This problem is a serious crisis which worth sitting down and to contemplate about it. This art work utilizes abandon wood strips which was once treated as junk, now recycled into something useful again. What is useless? What is useful?
