Artist Statement
Animals against humans
In today’s era, the impact of human activities on the natural environment has reached unprecedented levels. This theme touches me deeply as an artist, and I am committed to exploring the complex relationship between humans and nature through my work. My projects are inspired by extensive research on topics such as extinction, climate change, noise pollution, and animal communication, which not only sheds light on the impact of human actions on wildlife and ecosystems, but also provides a window into deeper understanding of the natural world. By combining the results of these scientific studies with artistic creation, I aim to create works that evoke reflection and emotional resonance in viewers, encouraging people to think about our roles and responsibilities as inhabitants of this planet. My work attempts to capture the delicate communication and connection between animals and their environment, showing their adaptation and resistance in the face of human intervention, as well as the fragile balance that exists in nature. In this work, Animals Against Humans, I used a variety of mediums and techniques, including digital media, sound art, and visual art, to capture the diversity and complexity of the subject and present it in a novel way. perspective and expression. This work is my personal interpretation and reflection on the relationship between humans and nature. Through my art, I hope to inspire public attention to environmental protection and promote in-depth thinking on how to achieve harmonious coexistence between human activities and the natural environment. I believe that art has the power to awaken people’s consciousness and move society in a more sustainable and harmonious direction. In my works, the audience will see the evolution of the sounds of humans and animals in nature, and feel the changes in their living environment under the influence of humans. By blending traditional and digital art forms, I create a visual and auditory experience that aims to reveal those often overlooked details of nature and animal behavior that are critical to maintaining ecological balance. Through this intuitive sensory experience, I hope to lead viewers to reflect on how our actions shape the natural environment we rely on, and what actions we can take to protect and restore this common home. In this ever-changing world, my art aims to be a bridge that connects the human mind on a deeper level with the natural world, exploring and celebrating the infinite beauty and complexity of our common home, the Earth.
