The work is mainly to state my personal thinking at the moment, my daily work state, life and state are relatively simple, and I repeat the two points and one line from home to studio and studio to home every day. I often pay the most attention to the weeds that can be seen everywhere on the ground, and the repeated attention, and at the same time, the reflection on the current personal factors, it conveys a message to me, which touches my heart. Wild herbs are very common and not cultivated by man, but they have strong vitality and energy, and can take root and sprout everywhere. As an element in my paintings, I do not want to depict the single form of weeds, but to use its energy as a metaphor for the picture. In the painting, I create a breakthrough of the present and my current state, a kind of energy spread, and state the multiple possibilities from the foot to the unknown, creating a space that can be associated from multiple angles.
