Xuan Wang - Temporary Objects at the Sea

"It happened in my hometown. In my memory, this place was demolished by the government 15 years ago. It was not until 15 years later that I returned to this place, and did not expect that after such a long time there would be no modern buildings, only ruins. They were covered with dust nets, and from a distance looked like the sea. My hometown is surrounded by mountains, but there is no sea there.

During that time, I went for walks in these ruins every day. I encountered the objects of the ruins, the dead trees, the broken bucket, the ruined wall...

For me, the material of the plastic bags is contradictory. When they are filled with air, they deceive; the bigger they get, the more vulnerable they are, like a game, or a dream. Suddenly I could not tell if it was a dream or reality."
