My name is Who. I am a deer—or rather, accurately speaking, a deer without antlers. I can't recall the exact date or month, but one day, I inadvertently wandered to the edge of the forest. Suddenly, I lost consciousness, and when I woke up, I had become a deer without antlers. Since then, I have faced the strange gazes and mockery from my fellow deer. Therefore, I left my herd, exiled myself, and embarked on a solitary journey to find my antlers. One day, by chance, I stumbled into a jungle of steel and concrete. Later, I learned that this was a place inhabited by a creature called "humans," whom they referred to as "civilized society." So, I searched within the realm of human civilization... I saw towering steel towers, I saw a green figure holding a torch by the riverbank, I saw walls made of countless interlocking bricks... And so, I wandered aimlessly, entering a luxurious mansion within a small forest. In the mansion's grand hall, I saw a fish tank adorned with coral, and I saw a mounted deer head on the wall. As I gazed at the polished antlers and the eyes that exuded a sense of melancholy... I left that place, and ever since, I have carried my "antlers" (the fish tank with coral) atop my head, haunted by profound sorrow and helplessness. I traversed through cities and villages, crossed roads and bridges, continuing my solitary journey...  Wanderer 迷失 Acrylic on canvas 200cm x 150cm |
