A cow


Several years ago in a mountain, I saw a cow chewing and swallowing a whole plastic bag thrown by poor and horrible tourists. The cow then came to my dream and told me that she really wished the one who threw the plastic bag could have a chance to taste it as well.

幾年前我在青青草原上, 看到一頭牛用嘴拾起了草地上的一個紅白條紋圖案相間的塑膠袋,然後竟開始咀嚼並吞嚥。我跑到牠面前伸手抓著塑膠袋一角並和牠來回拉扯了幾下,而後牠猛力甩了兩下頭,我嚇著跌坐在地上,起身後我跋腿往回跑。等我再回頭,只見袋子最後一角也給吞了下去。這是普遍存在在眾人之中的惡劣習性幹出來的悲慘、荒謬的怪事!

Monster of the Waste


This is a very playful piece that I did. The concept is still serious though. I am trying to convey the idea that the general life style of all people in the modern world do have created a huge burden to the earth, our living environment. While we are spending money and consuming all kinds of products that we think help create, for ourselves, a better life, we are also consuming the health of the planet. People tend to solve problems by the easiest way they can have which pretty often would be just spending money to have more products or services that will work instead of giving a little more our own physical or mental labor to solve or even prevent those problems.

This piece is very experimental. The playful part of this work is the multiple techniques employed, including watercolor on white clayboard, watercolor on Yupo paper, pen and ink, digital editing and printing, transferring with blender marker, collage and oil pastel for final retouch. I really enjoyed in doing this work.
