This piece is an installation-based presentation of my conceptual creation during my residency in Hainan.
The inspiration for this work comes from my two-week residency experience in Hainan: the sea, the islands within reach, coconut trees, sunsets, rain, and more, all served as sources of my creative inspiration. More specifically, elements like the wind blowing across the islands, the rippling waves from the rising and falling tides, the incessant rain throughout my stay, and the massive coconut leaves blown to the ground by the sea breeze—these impressions shaped my work. I continuously recorded all forms, colors, sounds—whether static or dynamic, highly saturated or muted—in my phone, camera, on paper, and in my mind.
The primary goal of this residency was to return to the essence of creation: to reflect on how I, as an artist, perceive the surrounding natural environment. I aimed to avoid all distractions and experience everything with a raw, unfiltered sense—truly seeing, hearing, and feeling—and then visualize these concepts through my work. This formed the main motivation behind the creation of this series.
This installation, along with other small installations, colored pencil sketches, and land art, comprises the body of work I produced during my residency in Hainan. Additionally, I faithfully documented my creative process and daily life during the residency, resulting in a series of narrative Vlogs.
该作品是我在海南驻留期间创作观念的装置化呈现。
作品灵感来源于我在海南的两周驻留体验：海边的水、触手可及的小岛、椰子树、落日、雨水等等，都是我创作灵感的来源。具体点来说，例如海边小岛吹的风、海水涨潮退潮的一股股波纹、驻留期间每天都在不停下的雨、被海风刮到地上的巨大椰子树叶子等等。所有的形态、颜色、声音，静态的动态的，饱和度高的，饱和度低的，都被我时刻记录着，储存在我的手机中，摄像机中，纸上，以及脑海里。由于这一次驻留创作目的是想回归创作本身：思考作为艺术家身份的我，对周围自然环境的感知是如何的，以及尽量避开所有的屏障，用真实的感觉去看去听去体验，并且后续进行观念的视觉化呈现，创作出来系列的作品，这是我这一次驻留的最主要动机。
该装置和其他小型装置、彩色铅笔小画、大地艺术作品一起，组合成为我在海南的驻留作品集。另外，我在海南驻留期间的创作和生活模样也被我如实记录，做成了一系列Vlog进行叙事化呈现。
