Note:

The work originates from an image in my dream, featuring bone conch and snail as central subjects, presenting a tension between life and death, softness and hardness, nature and alienation—two forces constantly intersecting to form dynamic relationships. The bone conch, with its aggressive and primal morphology, overlaps the round, soft-bodied snail, suggesting that the individual is forced into a new state even as it is destroyed. Black lilies serve as the background, enveloping two symbiotic snails (or two life systems), their overlap within the lily implying that all life experiences, struggles, and conflicts ultimately dissolve or sublimate into stillness.

They may symbolize mutual interdependence between organisms or the entanglement and conflict between inner and outer selves. The bone conch’s sharp, sword-like form points toward external challenges—a conscious probing and fusion with self or others—while the snail’s rounded shell signifies defense, safeguarding internal tranquility. This reflects the modern individual’s psychological state of seeking self-boundaries amid conflict and fusion, while hinting at the “balance” required when confronting tensions between the external and internal worlds.

This piece constructs a calm poetic quality through highly symbolic natural forms, serving as a further exploration and extension of personal life experiences through contemplation of nature, following the “Infinite Vessel” series.

笔记：

作品始于我梦境中的一个画面，画面以骨螺和蜗牛为主体，呈现出一种关于生与死、柔与刚、自然与异化，两种力量不断交错形成张力关系。骨螺，这种具有攻击性与原始力量的生物形态，与外形圆润、柔软的蜗牛重叠，暗示着个体在被破坏的同时，也被迫进入新的状态。黑百合作为背景，并将两颗共生的螺（或两个生命体系）包围，二者重叠于百合之中，生命在花的寂静中被消解或升华。意味着一切生命体验、挣扎与冲突最终都归于平静或重生。 它们既可能象征生物之间的相互依存，也可能代表内外自我的纠缠与冲突。骨螺的形态像锋利的剑指向外部挑战，是意识体对自身或他者的探入和融合，蜗牛圆润的外壳指向防御，守护内部的安宁。反映出现代个体在冲突与融合中寻找自我边界的心理状态，同时暗示着个体在面对外部世界和内在世界冲突时所需要的一种“平衡”。 这幅作品以高度象征化的自然形态构建出一种冷静的诗性，是继“无限的容器”系列作品之后，通过对自然形态的观照表达自身生命体验的进一步探索与延伸。

Note：In this painting, I attempt to record the process of a biological individual from inception to dissolution—it functions more like a vessel, bearing destinations that are infinitely approached yet forever unattainable. Does the naturally formed spiral extend inward or outward? It depends on each individual’s unique inner experience.

我试图在画面中记录了一个生物个体从开始到消亡的过程，它更像是一种容器，承载着一个个无限接近却无法到达的目的地。自然形成的螺旋向内还是向外延伸？取决于每个个体独有的内在体验。
