La Luna y el Hacedor

This group of works is a secret co-creation of literature and imagination in tribute to the boundless nature and the unbound imagination of human beings.

At the beginning of the the Covid-19 outbreak, I returned to China from my trip to New Zealand and began a long quarantine alone. We were forced to separate from one another during the outbreak, and I realized how little humans are in the face of nature's immense power and attempted to be on a state of freedom by imagining.

During the quarantine, I began reading a poetry collection called El Hacedor by Jorge Luis Borges, which inspired me to create this series of images with its poetic dream-like atmosphere. In light of this, I started to review the photos I took before the epidemic in New Zealand, and reconstruct them into a new composite, guided by the illusionary atmosphere portrayed in the poems.

This group of works is like a secret co-creation of literature and imagination in tribute to the boundless nature and the unbound imagination of human beings. In this series of works, I imagine a world where human beings seem very insignificant in comparison to everything else in the whole wide world, and symbolize the epidemic as the fog, posting a question:” What's in the fog?”
