The old steel bars supporting the "brake corner" will be picked up from the ruins of civilian buildings demolished nearby. The silk covering it had been exposed to the open air for more than a year before and had been drenched and torn apart by the seasons. The collection and reconstruction of these materials in Shiyu is just like those wood carvings and clay sculptures in Xiyu Nandao, where the materials obtained locally and the formal aesthetics of spirit are mutually generated. Just as the "temple" and "section" revealed in the title of the work, the ephemera of life wander in space and time, and the artist seems to fix a form of destruction in the warmth, and try to restore a little residual warmth of "existence" by careful caress.
