Please, Leave Us Alone!
[Please, Leave Us Alone!]
I was reading an article about the history of human infected viruses that bats carried. It’s felt like humans got punished every time someone messed up with nature. I couldn’t help to imagine the bats are some secret superheroes who always stand up for others no matter how small themselves are.
I know that not every kind of animal can weep, and not everyone believes that animals can have expressions like human beings. I try to simulate tears and to reveal the moving emotions on the animal’s faces through the reflection of light. Each of them is terrified, helpless and desperate.
I understand the standpoint of this picture may be a little controversial, especially under the circumstance of the pandemic. I started this project early February when I thought the virus would be defeated very soon. It doesn’t mean to upset anyone, especially those who lost their loved ones. I wish no one gets hurt. Regardless of nationalities or races, all of us are suffering from a few people’s selfishness, arrogance and stupidity. Stay well apart, get through this together.

[“恶灵退散”]
读到一篇文章,介绍人类感染蝙蝠携带病毒历史。感觉每当人类冒犯自然,便会遭遇蝙蝠的惩罚。这让我不禁想象,也许身躯小小的蝙蝠,是暗地里挺身而出的超级英雄。
我知道并不是所有的动物都可以流泪,也不是所有人都相信动物具有表情。我试图用光的反射模拟泪水的样子并在动物脸上塑造人类可以理解的情绪表达:恐惧、无助和绝望。
我理解,在当前的境遇下,这幅作品的立场可能会有些争议。这个项目着手于二月初,当时我以为疫情会很快结束。我无意触痛任何人,尤其是那些失去了挚爱的人们。愿无人有恙。无论国籍、种族,我们都被自私、傲慢和愚蠢牵连入这场灾难。独自安好,同渡劫难。
