I think it began with... Pangu, 2024 - Relief on clay and foam 5.4x 3.6 m
-
The "I think it began with..." series of artwork reintroduces our species' ancient and invisible attempts at unraveling the mysteries of the universe with little to no evidence, only logic and experiences. It takes us back to that bonfire thousands of years ago, where the stories were weaved, told, and awed. And it reflects us now, in 2024, how far we've come and how confused we've become.
"I think it began with... Pangu." is the first in the series, and my debut in the pursuit of art.
"I think it began with..."系列作品重新介紹了人類古老和已鮮為人知的、解答自然和宇宙謎團的嘗試。有史之初，即便缺乏或毫無證據，人仍以邏輯和體驗試圖組合和解釋世界的現象。我希望這一系列作品帶我們回到千年前那個篝火，在那火光和音樂中誕生這些有其道理的有趣故事；也向我們映照出現代，屬於我們的謎團，和我們在二零二四年不少於黑暗世紀的困惑。
"I think it began with... Pangu."是此系列第一個作品，也是我探索屬於我自己的藝術的第一步。
