我尝试无限接近这个已经被我过滤的不透明的世界,又试图和它保持某种距离,面对现实世界,每天,我们看到的都是不同以往经验的,在愕然回首中,我们竟发现别有一番天地,我们的工作就是不断地调整我们的画面，不断地实验，在种种可能的选择中不断地做出选择。同时体验着这认认真真的游戏所带来的快感，不断观察、 发现着我们不曾发现的本真与自然。

人生就像一场戏。对于客观的世界来说，我的这些作品像个摆设；对于这些作品而言，画中的世界又像个摆设。这好像是个无解的命题，但却很好的表达了我现在的感觉。我们的人生亦真亦幻。

这一系列作为我的研究生毕业创作，整个主题是对往昔的一种纪念，《镜像系列—礼物》是其中一幅，画面中的手指玫瑰，快递单以及快递包裹箱，这一切记录着一段往事，而镜子则是连结着今天与往昔，是一种见证。我所画的一切都是生活的自然状态，没有人在场，但却有人曾经在场的痕迹。以期用冷静，旁观的视角重新看待这些我们曾经经历过的岁月。通过真实的场景再现以及含蓄的故事情节的引入以期同观者达到某种共鸣。

Gift, Mirror image Series

I attempted to approach this filtered and opaque world infinitely, but also to keep a certain distance with it. In the present world, we might experience something different from the past every day. When we look back, there seems to be a different world, where we constantly adjust ourselves, try and choose between all possibilities. Simultaneously, we also enjoy the pleasure brought by the earnest game, to ceaselessly observe and detect the covered real look and nature.

Life is like a play. To the external world, my paintings are like a setting; to those paintings, the world in the image is also like a setting. It seems to be an insoluble proposition, but exactly expressed my feelings. Our life lies in between reality and illusion.

The series of works was produced for my graduation from the postgraduate period, with the theme of memories for the past, one of which is Gift, Mirror image Series, where the fingerflower, courier receipt and packaging record the event, and the mirror witnesses the link between the past and today. Everything in my painting reflects the natural condition of life, leaving traces of someone although no one is present, just to survey the past times again from a calm and onlooking perspective, as well as to strike a chord in audiences with the reappearance of scenes and the introduction of implicit plot.
