As the studio enters its fifth year, I have decided to return to the starting point.

-

This year, I started to create based on series. Working piece by piece before, from two weeks to a month, then to two to three months, even a whole year refining each one. As always, seeking to break boundaries, I have used three years to practice speed with a better-named "improvisation," creating maximum impact in the shortest time, thinking to deeply adapt to the culture of this city, a project entirely unplanned (or perhaps simply un-plannable). When u try to adapt, it means u will never adapt. Well, I have added more challenges to an already exhausting journey, living on the edge of "life and death," "good and evil," "heaven and hell." The struggles of these four years, compared to the past three years ' physical journey, have been a rollercoaster of ups and downs in "hell" then hell.

Without having experienced the Guangzhou East Railway Station during the Spring Rush of the 1990s, how could one amazed by the IFC vibe of Shenzhen now?!

Sorry, let's come back.

Studio started on 10.10.2020. By the end of September this year, everything fell apart, even the internet went dead. With a heavy burden of unresolved issues, a fading idealism, the harsh reality of time to time, images that haunt me relentlessly, I decided to bring closure: I cannot be a salmon, I should swim with the flow like a tiny fish with other fish like you don't know which fish is the fish. Then, on the evening of 8/10, as I lay there accepting my fate, its coming fifth year of studio in 2 days just crossed my mind. Suddenly, a tiny light came into my dark room, but in reality, 2 seconds later, I continued making plans for my closure. Sorry, no dramatic shift.

On 10.10.2024, around noon, I walked unconsciously towards the studio, looked around, and for the next 36 hours + 36 hours + 36 hours + 36 hours, I continued work and work like unstoppable. Until now another 36 hours have passed. Perhaps the inner self broke free; maybe it's real love, or possibly just being stubborn to an extreme.

It's hard to go back to sleep when you are awakened in the middle of the night. you know.

-

Establishing is easy, destruction is effortless, and the real challenge lies in repair.

In theory, about climbing out of hell, if you use a bit of imagination, you can actually fly up and even head up to the sky.

If reality teaches me to stay slumber, then I shall dream awake.
