This place was once a part of the sea millions of years ago, and the marine facies found on the bed of Zengwen River indicated the geographical scale of how the landscape has changed. This work is based on a shell fossil from the artist's childhood, and its round surface suggests all types of water-induced effects over the years – or perhaps millions of years. Taking the site as the landscape of a riverbed, foamed plastic is used for this exhibition to simulate a significant number of pebbles, creating a substantial contrast between visual representation and the actual objects through the plastic's ability to move in water or blow in the wind due to its lower-mass physical property. The transformation of memories is also reflected through the temporality of sound. Here, the creation proposes contemporary views of the history, of the momentum and intense historical events and how they were reduced to words and codes, light as feathers.
