I have always wanted to create contemporary works related to digital cultural heritage. The inspiration comes from having witnessed firsthand the decline
and loss of outstanding intangible cultural heritage works from my hometown,
which have carried the civilization of generations of humanity for thousands of
years. These works, regardless of their aesthetic value, promotional value,
technological value, or cultural value, deserve to be preserved by more people. Since 2023, I have been learning 3D modeling and programming, gradually
exploring the contemporary society. Ephemeral Ages and Gazing Across Ages
is the first series of works I have exhibited in the UK.
In this series, I use elements from China’s traditional cultural exchanges dating back to the 11th century BCE to symbolically express the alienation and superficial connections people have with one another in the electronic information age. Beneath this indifference, everything has edges yet remains blurred (the white works are exhibited against a white background). The exhibition takes place in the Sculpture Court, which was established in 1913.Initially, it served as a display space for Edinburgh's plaster sculpture collection. Now, one can find the sculptures scattered throughout the academy, and the Sculpture Court is used for student exhibitions and events.
