Critical Annotation

In the beginning, I focused on artists who resonated with my emotions, childhood and memories. The theme of ‘trees' made me feel that people are trees that can walk. The art creation is the soil, in which I can take root.

In the process of collating these artworks, I gradually found a clear direction for research. I am absorbed in how Chinese artists living abroad translate Chinese history and culture into the visual language of contemporary art. I am also interested in how artists discover the possibilities of artistic creation in everyday life. My practice is to reacquaint myself with the materials of everyday life and to find materials that can represent my identity.

In <Two-Minute Wash Cycle>, Huang Yong Ping placed a classical Chinese art history book and a Western art history book into a washing machine and washed them for two minutes. (1) The books end up as pulp, symbolizing that the misunderstandings between different cultures are perpetuated. This work made me realize that I see the world through the influence of multi-culture.

In Xu Bing’s <Phoenix Project>, I marveled at the artist's reuse of discarded materials, where modern materials that had lost their function were used to recreate the phoenix in traditional culture, giving the traditional oriental elements contemporary art value. Because of this work, I chose the dragon, which represents the Chinese tradition for my project.

The front of Xu Bing’s <Background Story> is a very traditional Chinese landscape painting in keeping with the oriental aesthetic, but in fact, the work is made of common materials. These works inspired me to recreate dragon patterns with cheap materials that represent transportation. I believe that traditional patterns with common materials build a bridge between tradition and modernity.

Gunpowder as Cai Guo-Qiang's main creative medium enlightened me to ignite the canvas. When the fire followed my cut marks to help me complete the work, this force between the uncontrollable and the controllable made the work more powerful. It also made me realize that my current methodology is to break the material and then repair it.

In <Cultural Melting Bath: Projects for the 20th century>, Cai Guo-Qiang invited people from different cultures to come and bathe together in the gallery. And the bath was placed around traditional Chinese stones and pine trees, with a net hanging over it, creating a new space for this work in the gallery. (2) I also chose to use a bird net to hold my work together, a hidden layer of netting that allows the viewer to wonder whether the packages are ready for transport or have just been opened.

I hope that I can be a bridge between Chinese culture and contemporary art, re-creating my heritage in a contemporary art language that the world can understand. Language is limited, but the ancient and the contemporary, the East and the West can merge in the world of contemporary art, understanding and learning from each other.

Resources: Books for Networking

Books to build your networking skills shouldn’t just be soft skill books on communication and small talk. You may meet people of different backgrounds and cultures. You might be attending a diverse networking conference; studying at a multi-cultural university; or dealing with clients from all over the world. How do you connect to them? You need to know a little history of where the other person is from, to able to have a great initial conversation. It shows interest and respect.

I highly recommend this book (pictured below). Yes, its a little textbook-y but its short, crisp and to the point.

It’s essentially just quick info on every single country. If you go through it diligently and meet someone say from Latvia, you may be able to recall that Latvia was annexed by the Soviet Union in the 40s, majorly practice Lutheran and mainly export timber, metals and garments. If you can use these facts smartly in a conversation with the other person, there will be a feeling of genuine joy of knowing at least a little bit of their country and they’ll be eager to share more with you. You’ll be able to ask interesting questions and get to learn things from the other person. There’s a good chance of the person remembering you for knowing even 0.5% of where they’re from.

History, culture and religion draw people to each other more than you think. What’s important is being respectful of everyone’s opinions, understanding the world doesn’t revolve around you and being open to hearing the other person’s experience. What the media shows vs what the citizen experiences, you may realise, are two completely different things.

a big fan of any fictional relationship that has the dynamic of “they made themselves better for me, I made myself worse for them, we humanized each other in ways that no one else had ever really been able to, because, in the end, they’re the one I’m human with the most” no one’s doing it like that

(Heads up and to warn for most people that this post may be long due to rambling).

As someone who is into a lot of fandoms, I have witnessed the WHOLE trifecta--the doxxing, toxic fans, and the arguments over the most ridiculous and stupid stuff. One thing that sticks out to me for the most part is the fighting and unnecessary targeting towards people over one thing: character shipping. But not JUST regular character shipping--but I noticed and hate how most ships I've seen were hated on because they were either crackship, rarepair, oc x canon, and multi/polyship.

Being into a lot of fandoms; I, myself, also have various ships of my own that are oc x canon, crackship, rarepair AND mostly multi/polyshipping. I've spotted the ABSOLUTE worst hate I've ever seen towards one ship or two or many more that immature people get mad about and like to talk shit about it towards people who LOVE the ship and get hated on it JUST for liking it in general. And most of these complaints I've seen towards couple shipping are absolutely dumb, infuriating, or just outright "what the fuck?"

Here are most of what I've seen and my argument about it:

1)"*comments on a fanart or fanfic that involves shipping a main character with another character that isn't with a canon spouse or partner or love interest* NOOOOOOOO why would you DO that to (inserted canon ship name)😭😭😭?!?! That is so messed up and wrong!!!" "(canon ship name) forever yall 👇🙌🙏" and "*basically making fun or downright hating on the ship*"

First off, you are being downright rude to op(s) who just wanna make harmless content on a main character that is preferred to be shipped with either a side character or another main character that isn't a spouse or love interest. Not EVERYONE likes to ship a movie or TV show ship that the creators and producers made to the audience--everyone has the right and free-will to ship the main character(s) with someone else. It's literally NOT okay nor is it right to hate on people who ship those types of things and yet you act as if it's the end of the world. Grow the fuck up.

2)"*sees a canon ship they hate* OMFG!!! I hate this ship! (Character A) deserves/is better off with (another name of a character) because (Character B) is *goes on a long, wild ramble that makes Character B a bad person even though they are not)"

Oh, my God--I have seen this argument ONE TOO MANY TIMES on canon ships that creators made that people are against because of dumb fucking reasons. Most of which are because the main reason is "the ship isn't perfect and I want it as perfect as possible or else I'm gonna abuse the living shit out of it", you need to calm down and rethink that mindset of yours because not ONLY is it unrealistic but it is also toxic and harmful. A lot of relationships I've seen whether in fiction or real-life ALWAYS have struggles and problems and complications and THAT IS COMPLETELY OKAY AND NORMAL!!! That only means they are still working being better to each other and themselves as well.

Not to mention that another reason I've seen people hate on canon ships is because they believe that a non-abusive character IS abusive or horrible to the other character and therefore find it excusable to ship the "abused" character with someone who will treat them better. That is literally disgusting you think that way. I've seen fictional characters who are sweet, bubbly, supportive and try their best to help and understand their partners/spouses getting viewed as toxic, abusive, and being downright HORRIBLE when THEY ARE NOT!!! I've seen haters of the same people who hate the ship because of Character B go and ship Character A with someone who is a canon horrible person and say "Since in MY view, Character B deserves no bitches cuz they abused Character A so I'm shipping them with Character C because Character C will treat them better like a god". Are you fucking serious right now????

3)"*sees main popular ship(s) that is viewed to be in a polyamorous relationship with another character as a triad, or that Character A or B is holding hands with both a love interest and another character, along with other non-monogamous ships that involves three or more characters in a polycule in general; also seeing fanart of a main character being shipped with multiple other characters lovingly* OMG they're cheating 😭😡!! How dare you make my ship unfaithful and so full of sin!! How disgusting--my ship would NEVER add in another person in there!"

Uhhhh, WOW. I felt like I was slapped in the face--because you LITERALLY sound SUPER offended by the fact that more than TWO people can be in a relationship. Not to mention just how "monogamous-normative" you are, smh.

As someone who is polyamorous with a partner who isn't, my lesson to YOU about polyamory is that "polyamory =/= cheating." It is about being fully communicated and listening to each other--some people are okay with being in a polyamorous or open relationship and some are not because that's their personal preference and that's totally fine.

Edit (5/29/2024): I accidentally posted this while it was still in the drafts and it was unfinished. So I am gonna be showing some more examples:

4) *sees someone making shipping content with one or more canon characters with an oc or self-insert* "OMG, CRIIIIIIINGE 😤😭!!"

OML, are you seriously mad that someone wanted to ship their persona/insert/original character with a favorite character(s) because they love that said character?? Let that person wanna kiss their fictional other or marry them or fuck them or however they wanna be connected to their favorite character, dumbass. Not to mention how hypocritical these people are because they'll go "omg you SHIP yourself with *name of character(s)?? loser!!! simp!!! XD" and at the same time they'll be like "omg I wanna fuck this character SOOOOOOOOOO bad". Like......what???

5) *fanart or fan-fiction that depicts aro/ace characters being in romantic and/or sexual relationships; allosexual and/or alloromantic characters being headcanoned as aro/ace* "bro why would you ship *character's name* with *another character's name*, they're aro/ace!!" "why would you hc this character as aro/ace?!, they have sex like crazy/have a romantic interest! They cannot be aro/ace!!"

I CANNOT stress this enough already as someone who is also on the aroace spectrum--you can still have sex and/or romance AND still be fucking aro/ace!!! I one time showed a canon allosexual woman being depicted as asexual because it was my headcanon, and I was bashed by someone who claimed that she cannot be asexual because she canonically has sex with her husband. Same goes for alloromantic characters being depicted and headcanoned as aromantic or on the aromantic spectrum.

Not to mention that relationships with aro/ace characters CAN also be associated with being platonic with no romance and sex involved in it whatsoever. Or that they can still have sex and romance and still be platonic--libido, sex, and romance are all different things and are not the same thing.

6) *sees a gay/lesbian ship made by someone who isn't gay/lesbian or that the gay ship was made by someone who is straight person/lesbian and a lesbian ship made by a gay man/straight person; or just seeing a ship in general* "no way you made that, that is so sexualized and fetishizing/you're a gay man/lesbian/straight person, you're suppose to only like gay/lesbian/straight ships!" "bro, ur so creepy and weird for liking that, wtf?? that's *name of a disgusting crime* bait"

I...have no fucking words for this type of shit. You are SOOOO chronically-ill online that you got the nerve to point at someone and accuse them of a horrid fucking crime or say that they have a fetish like its a bad thing because of a dynamic or how some of the characters look due to their appearance.

Not to mention the amount of gatekeeping and toxicity I see whenever it comes to queer creators/fan-makers with their ships. Lesbian self-shipper who's main f/o's are men? Accused of not being a lesbian. Gay men sharing their favorite ships in which most of them are hetero couples? They'll be questioned of their sexuality and get accused of not being gay. Straight people who enjoy Yuri and Yaoi content? "OMFG, those people are disgusting fujoshis/fudanshis/himejoshis/himedanshis*!!"

*please do your research and learn that these terms were wrongfully bashed by people who wrongfully claimed that it meant sexualizing/fetishizing mlm/wlw content. It does not. The true terms mean "woman/man (rotten girl/rotten boy/princess girl/princess boy) who enjoys boys love/girls love content".

If you guys have any more to add, feel free to Reblog or put it in tags.

Cai Guo-Qiang <Encounter with Unknown>, Shanghai, 2021

This work is over 30 meters high and presents the 'Cosmic Tree', which links the ancient and modern worlds. The whole shape is inspired by the Mesoamerican world tree. In Mexico central world tree has also been interpreted as a representation of the band of the Milky Way. (1)

The exhibition hall has four floors, each with a platform to view the work from a different angle. On the lower level, we look up at this work as if we were looking at the stars. When we go to the highest level, it is as if we are facing the universe.

In this work, a man who was wearing an ancient Chinese cloth is Wan Hu and he lived about 600 years ago in China. He was described as the world’s first ‘astronaut’. He built a chair with 47 rockets and flew to the sky. We can find astronaut Gagarin’s famous sentence “Earth is blue” in this work. This means that the image of this astronaut is the first human to go into outer space. Cai Guo-Qiang combines the unrealized space dream in human history with the first step in space travel, making the work transcend the limitations of time and space.

The kinetic LED lights mimic the interstellar movements of the universe. When this ‘Cosmic Tree’ is opening, it is like an artist painting a sketch by light. This kinetic installation is like a spacetime capsule that connects the ancient with the modern, the familiar with the unknown. I think the kinetic LED lights recreate the moment when gunpowder explodes. The moment the LED lights turn off, it is like a silent night after the fireworks set off. This is because most of Cai Guo-Qiang's works are made through gunpowder. He likes the moment when the gunpowder exploded. He believes in the moment of the explosion, we may feel the meaning of time and space and allowing us to connect with the invisible energy of nature, even with the universe. (2)

This part element gives <Creation of Adam> a new meaning. In art history, the gesture of these two fingers means humans were created by god. Cai Guo-Qiang made this connection becomes a communication between aliens and human beings. In Cai's world, humans can communicate with the unknown universe through this gesture.

Playing with a paper plane is the first flying dream in childhood. In Cai’s world, a human can fall in love with an alien, the figure represents ancient Egypt can dance with an alien, and an ape can have a baby with an alien. When we look at this work, aliens observed humankind from the perspective of the cosmos.(3)

This work weaves together humanity’s desire to defy gravity and embrace the cosmos shared across civilizations. As a child, Cai always gazed up at the stars and imagined what lies beyond the starry. These elements provide Cai’s artistic methodology and philosophy have a spiritual dimension. He believes that there existed extraterrestrials and superpower and that there is the unseen world behind our world. (4) This dazzling cosmic tree, under Cai Guo-Qiang's expansive view of the universe, transcends the past and the present, breaking through the race. This is a romantic moment about imagination that only belongs to human beings.

Cai Guo-Qiang’s whole art concept is using visible means to illustrate invisible worlds, which is the same as my art concept. His artworks suit both refined and popular tastes. This is what I hope to achieve in my work. He has transformed Chinese history and culture into a visual language that can be understood all over the world. Before he found gunpowder as his art medium, he did many experiments, he never gave up, until found gunpowder to liberate his soul and desire for freedom. His experience and artwork gave me the courage to find my way and encounter with unknown.

So ghouls are born. They’re born in the Pit, grow from tiny kits in litters to marvelous creatures of Satan’s creation. But what humans can’t seem to pin down is why ghouls exhibit behaviors and habits of human cultures when topside.

Well, after a period of adjustment, proximity to humans and cultures, they start to display these behaviors. But it’s not imitation or like a learned accent. Ghouls have souls, and those souls were once human too. Some sent to Hell for their deeds, others are the souls of Satan’s loyal followers, reincarnated into beings he clearly adores.
