 Title: "The bird chooses the wood " Material: Wood/Paper/Ink Size: L150-H90-W30 CM Year: 2023 "The bird chooses the wood" expresses the complexity and selfishness of human nature. Using calligraphy scripts of "The Red Cliffs" to create paper birds symbolizes individuals throughout history pursuing personal interests, while the dried wood signifies the reality of limited resources and environmental degradation. By placing the paper birds on the dried wood, the artist suggests that humans often overlook environmental and societal interests while pursuing illusory personal gains, making excuses for their choices, and consequently leading to the emergence of negative social issues. This expression emphasizes the selfishness and self-interest tendencies of human nature, prompting viewers to contemplate and reflect on morality and values. |
