Exhibition｜Clouds and Ripples｜Jingwei Gazes at the Sea

〈Jingwei Gazes at the Sea〉

Mixed media: ceramic, wood, brass, stone
Dimensions: 13.5 × 7.2 × 16 cm

After countless trips carrying twigs across the sky,
Jingwei pauses—entranced by the glistening waves.
For a moment, she wonders:
perhaps not filling the sea is also a choice.

Body-Island: Sculptures from the Classic of Mountains and Seas

山と海 – Mountains and Seas

Long ago, there were no boundaries between the human body and the earth.
Mountains were bones, rivers were veins, islands were where the soul came to rest.

The Nine-Tailed Fox leapt through the mountains, her feathers slicing through the morning mist.
The Sea God slumbered in the deep blue, waves churning with ancient hymns.
Queen Mother of the West was still a forest enchantress, listening to the whispers of the sky under moonlight, living among beasts and spirits.
Giants chased the sun. Headless warriors swung their blades endlessly.
Wizards chanted spells to forge stones and patch the heavens.

In those ancient days, humans, gods, and beasts shared a single world.
Trees reached out to touch the skies, the land beat with a fiery heart.
Every mountain and river had a voice; every star and drop of dew held the memory of life.

At the edge of the clouds, beside the rippling shore,
a traveler finds a shard of ancient pottery etched with the totem of a divine beast.
As they gently touch the clay’s surface, feeling its warmth, the wind hums softly—
and something begins to awaken.

An ancient spirit whispers:
“Come home. This is your mountain, your sea—your body, your soul’s return.”
