Work Statement:

“造梦像”系列作品中“旋涡元素”的创作理念

The concept of the "vortex element" in the "Dreaming Image" series of works

以“造梦像”系列命名的作品，作品大部分从个人的直觉经验或潜意识出发，重构不同时间、不同空间所发生的日常、新闻、事件等碎片化图像，抽离原本图像的叙事逻辑与明确指向，把个体生存于集体环境那种迷茫、失落的情感揉进画面，试图创造一种超越事实的真实，表达个体对确定性、逻辑性存在的怀疑意识。

拿旋涡元素的创作来说，讲一下我的创作思考。我们现在生存的这个社会、这个地球，从某种程度上，其实就像是一个巨大的漩涡。漩涡，字面上予人一种危险恐怖的意象，让人恐惧害怕，但与此同时，我们应该意识到漩涡的另外一面，漩涡集聚所形成水势，其实是一种强大的水的力量，力量蕴含着能量，所谓“水能载舟，亦能覆舟”，当我们能从漩涡中看到的是一种能量的时候，我们大可不必对它产生恐惧与不安，相反，当我们能意识并运握着漩涡水势的力量，我们就能从中得以“生”的能量。这也许就是属于自我疗愈的一种方式。

《造梦像-奔跑》、《造梦像-寻琴》、《造梦像-孕》、《造梦像-晕床》、《造梦像-口红腿》这些作品的创作初衷也是出于我对这个世界、整个社会的一些个人极为私密性的感悟，我着迷于在漩涡状态中的水的形态和光斑，当我们注视着漩涡的中心时，视知觉由内往外，但也产生由外到内的眩晕感，我喜欢在画面中制造这样的幻像，不合理的并置，大场景与小物件的对比，真实与虚幻的切换。

Most of the artworks named after the "Dreaming Image" series start from one's intuitive experience or subconsciousness, reconstructing fragmented images of daily life, news, events, etc. that occur in different times and spaces, abstracting the narrative logic and clear direction of the original images, and incorporating into the images the emotions of confusion and loss that individuals feel as they exist in a collective environment, in an attempt to create a reality that transcends facts and expresses the individual's sense of doubt toward the certainty and logic of existence. It attempts to create a kind of reality beyond the facts, and expresses the individual's skepticism towards the certainty and logic of existence.

Take the creation of the vortex element as an example, and characterize my creative thinking. The society we live in now, this earth, is like a huge vortex in a way. Vortex, literally gives people a kind of hazardous and terrifying image, which makes people afraid, but at the same time, we should recognize the other side of the vortex, that is, the water formed by the collection of the vortex is actually a kind of powerful force of water, and the force contains potential energy, the so-called "water can carry a boat, but also can overturn a boat", when we are able to recognize the energy contained in the vortex, we should not be afraid of it. Instead, when we could be conscious and manage the power of the vortex of water, we could be able to get the energy of " living " from it. This may be a form of self-healing.

These works were created out of my personal and very intimate perceptions of the world and society as a whole. I am fascinated by the form of the water and the light spots in the vortex state, when we look at the center of the vortex, the visual perception flows from the inside to the outside, but it also produces a sense of vertigo from the outside to the inside, I like to create such illusions in the painting, irrational juxtapositions, contrasts between the big scene and the small objects, and switches between the real and the unreal.

Artist Bio:

In fact, I don't have much to say about in my own words, because sometimes words don't work everywhere. I prefer that the images of my works are enough to give the viewer what he or she needs or doesn't need.

其实关于艺术家自述，本人也没太多要说的了，因为有时候语言并不是处处都起作用的。我更希望我的作品画面足够给予观者所需要的或不需要的，都可以。
