    Naturally, the third part is “back to the mirror”.It is about the inward nature of the things, the beginning point of intention. It's something almost real. Here, in the end, is the start. All of the three parts as an entirety. It is becoming a loop, an eternal circulation. I consider “the mirror” as a piece of documentary evidence. It is more like an intrapersonal communication and empirical analysis.

    In a series of works“dream a dream”. Through making deconstruction and reconstruction of a dream, the work attempt to analyze the connection between the virtual reality--direct presentation--intuitionistic images. The dream is a reflection of real life, what happens, in reality, will be converted into something else in the dream, the original is hidden in it. I write down my dream almost realistically, then use the animation to reveal it. The stop-motion animation is base on my short writings. By symbolizing everything in my dream into a simple token, this animation reduces the narrative of a dream itself. Without any hint, it is hard to re-describe that dream.

    Via the works“unexpected reflection”, I try to reinterpret the word “origin”.Generally, the print has an original block with some scratches. Every work can be copy and reprint. In this work, every print is unique and can not be copied, because there is no nick on the plate. I put ink and water on the raw plate at random, then print it. There is no original plate, or, everyone can have the original plate. I was fascinated by this uncertainty and getting joyful amazement from every print. Maybe it is a part of origin.
