As a child growing up in the city, I seldom have the opportunity to contact the real nature, such as mountains, rivers, forests, etc., so for me, nature means more about the flowers and plants and pets around me. Anyway, I think nature plays an important role in my life. It is more of an existence that can make me feel relaxed and comfortable. But sometimes it is also a difficulty that I need to overcome. When I was in high school, I often went out with my friends to hiking or camping. We saw a lot of shocking scenery and overcame the bad weather, rough roads and heavy backpacks. At that time, I could not only feel the beauty of nature, but also feel the insignificance of human beings in front of nature. To some extent, nature has always been around me, because the experience in nature is an indelible memory in my mind. I think there is nature in the city. Everything we see with our eyes can be said to be part of nature, such as food, animals, insects and so on. For me, nature may not have to be a mountain, a jungle or a glacier. It can also be an insignificant thing in the life around us.
“Chaos” 2018
Acrylic painting
160cmx100cm
This is a painting I finished in the summer before I went to Parsons. It mainly expresses my nervous, anxious but also excitement. Many different feelings in this painting make me feel it is powerful.
