Ripples on Ruins
2024
In an era dominated by technology and capital efficiency, our encounters with nature are increasingly mediated through digital platforms—whether through short videos, video games, or travel advertisements—highlighting the growing disconnect between humanity and the natural world. This exhibition explores the intricate relationship between nature, technology, and human sensory experience in contemporary society and seeks to provoke reflection on this phenomenon. This exhibition proposal has been shortlisted for the Young Curators Program organized by ENNOVA ART MUSEUM.

Selected Artworks
Traces of the Vanished
This art piece focuses on the loss of collective memory due to the disappearance of cultural heritage. As historical landmarks like the Guangzhou Red Brick Factory are demolished, people lose their emotional connections to these sites. The work aims to evoke public resonance regarding disappearing cultural heritage and stimulate reflection on preserving these memories. By collecting and visualizing public recollections, it seeks to establish a collective narrative, raising awareness of the significance and urgency of protecting cultural heritage.
