SHORT ARTIST STATEMENT Hi, I'm Jupiter. I divided my works into four categories to describe. First, photography,as art that can be gazed at, can convey emotions and has a metaphysical manifestation. In the project ‘Seven Days’, from a personal point of view. I used photography to narrate the feelings of spending the last seven days of my grandmother’s life.

photography，installation，painting,sculptrue
I held an unattended funeral for her in the forest and painted with elements of her memory. I made a tomb for her in this world with the soil of my hometown. I used sculptur -e to cast the real her and the imaginary her.In addition t -o positive love and missing, what my grandmother did also brought me great negative influence. I used photography to tell the story of how my grandmother educated my father wit -h two-sided personality through extreme education methods. I used scar specimens to show the tragedy of my father's vi -olence to my mother caused by my grandmother's instition, and the chain reaction of my grandmother's rejection to my mother I looked back at Grandma's life with my own artistic perspective.
In 2021, during the last seven days of my grandmother's life, I was by her side.Grandma was the one who raised me, and after she dead, thoughts and memories of my grandmother gradually filled me.Even though I love my grandma and she l -oves me, she has a double-edged impact on me.I use art wor -ks to tell the double-edged influence of grandma on me.She is the person who loves me and also the biggest cause of my family tragedy. I explained my grandmother's life from my o -wn point of view, mainly divided into two lines of thinkin -g: First, my memory of my grandmother caused loving memori -es and sympathy for her tragic life; Second, my analysis o -f my grandmother revealed the spiritual influence and viol -ent injury of a vertical family relationship.Such family t -ragedy finally separated me.

Second, photography does not necessarily function exclusively from a human perspective. In the ‘Quest for Second-Tier’ project,I used fisheye lenses and special effects lenses to simulate fisheye vision experiments. Then created a living sculpture to record its journey from the village to the city, using this act to disturb the sense of human self-ownership in different environments for a moment.
Waiting for death 2022.10.07 A young bird could not learn to fly even with the whole family, repeatedly fell in the yard, and died the day after taking this picture. It may be born with a physical defect.
Waiting 2021.08.15 Three days before my grandmother died, she leaned against me, breathing weakly and painfully. I could barely sleep, my heart ached and I took this picture with tears in my eyes.
Third, an exploration of the boundary of photographic art. In the project ‘Pray for Creatures’,I combined the traditional Chinese blessing form with organic sculptures to build two outdoor ancestral halls for the creatures to pray for nature.The completion of the work needs to control the proportion of the sculpture in the photography.
Funeral under the Bodhi tree 2022.10.06 I re-held the funeral for my grandmother, with nine chairs representing nine people.
Finally, photography can be displayed in more than just a fixed frame or quiescent form. In the exhibition of the ‘Quest For Second-Tier’ project,I cut 108 pieces of photos taken by 360-degree fisheye camera to make an installation, and transformed the work twice with the help of glass; Video is flowing photography.In the project ‘Me and Me’, I tell the story of growing up with self-awareness in the form of stop-motion short films.

The lens of fish is different from that of humans, and the eyes grow on the sides of the body, resulting in their natural myopia and a wide-angle visual range, seeing objects at close range with a clear center and distortion around them.
Quest for Second-tier The public's cognition of the world has gradually become unifi -ed under the influence of the information age. As the primary cogn -itive organ of healthy people, the eyes make us too believe that wh -at we see is the real and unique world.All the electronic tools of ph -otography and photography are also built based on our cognition, as if the limited visual structure of human beings is the only tool to i -nterpret the world. A few years ago, the documentary <You inner fish> aired and t -old the story about life on earth--Human beings evolved from fish. I -n the process of evolution, some sea animals went to land .Through detailed research, I found that there are huge differences in the visua -l differences between humans and fish. I took these differences as in -spiration and started to create works. I used cameras and other tools as media to substitute the visual world of fish for creation. Human bei -ngs cannot really think apart from themselves.They just use their ow -n way to create social environment and try to control the world with -out respecting life, and then destroy nature driven by desire. Perhaps one day in the future, the continuous destruction of bala -nce will completely break the earth's ecosystem, and the land will gr adually become silent in the sea So I combined the qualities of fishey -e vision with humans and extended it to create amphibious man kno -wn as the second Seeker.

In the process of entering the works, I felt the singularity of human vision, our habitual preference to see the w orld as a dominant being. So I created a living sculpture comb ining the characteristics of humans and fish, and used a 360-degree fish eye camera to record her journey fro m the village to the city, using this a ct to disturb the sense of human self -ownership in different environmen ts for a moment.

In the route of the amphibian from the seaside to the city, I used a 360-degree fisheye camera to follow a lot of follow-up shooting, using this act to disturb the sense of human self-ownership in different environments for a moment. These photos are video screenshots.

Instead of th -e usual object of prayer, the traditional gods who g -uard humans are replaced with gods who guard ani -mals, birds, fish, wood, and water, and pray for crea tures that have been harmed by humans, creatures th -at are about to be harmed, and creatures that will b -e harmed.

Scene 1 comes from the Fuso Divine Tree, which can be con -nected with heaven, and legend has it that the Divine Tree connects heaven and earth and sits on the blue sea.It can c -ommunicate the earth, the divine world, the underworld, and it is also the place where the sun rises, there are ten su ns and ten golden crow birds in the tree, and every day one golden crow carries the sun on its back, and the remaining nine perch on the tree.In traditional Chinese culture, nine h -as the meaning of eternity, and nine nine is one, which is a number to the sun. The sacred tree is the place where the s -un inhabits, and the sun is the foundation of the survival of living beings, and I take this as a prayer to living beings, ho -ping that living beings will be as diverse and abundant as before. Therefore, a picture of the landscape and water div -ine beast was drawn as the background of the divine tree, and the divine beast is the heaven and earth water divine b east that guards the animals, to symbolically embody the m -eaning, and transform the peach tree with the significance of exorcising evil spirits into a divine tree with ten sacred bi -rds.

I have personally seen zoo cruelty of animals, predators killing animals, animals being forcibly disciplined into bipolar disorder, and cruel animal performances, which are all manifestations of man's selfish pursuit of interests, we ignore the body and mind of animals, while ignoring the gifts of nature, we need more people to stand up to contribute to nature and make up for the mistakes made by human beings.

Me And Me SELF-PROTECTION Use three scenes to tell a story.
Someting that time can't take away. And no one can take away.
10/09/2023-20/10/2023
In my living environment, it seems that all people judge things by a worldly standard, judge things under this standard, exercise their duties, and educate their children. Such an environment is not suitable for me, it suppresses my nature, restricts my hobbies, and caters to the requirements of parents and society in order not to be troubled. Like a net shrouded in my life, I realized through learning and reflection that I did not want the "benefits" brought by this bondage and honor, I wanted to follow my heart, do what I love, even if it is difficult to do without the support of my family, I will stick to myself and protect my most precious and unique self.
This is a stage that represents my personal spiritual growth, telling the story of an app le that has always been cherished by a little girl and grown up together, the apple sym bolizes what I love, and it is also my inner uniqueness. As precious as they are, they mean nothing to my wretched family, wh o use me as a container for desire. But in t he end, I resisted, stuck to my love, and su ccessfully guarded my apple under this bo und net. I created three scenes to shoot a 3 -minute stop-motion film, which can fully express my personal growth.
Childhood memories are wrapped up in a pile of stools to find securit y, This is the origin of this scene, th e girl in such an environment Start thinking, why am I afraid, who am I? With that, she spat out the apple from her mouth.
《First time I met myself》
《Grow in a cage》 We can't choose our parents or family members. My famil y is very secular and deeply in fluenced by traditional conce pts, and they have told me sin ce childhood not to be differe nt from others, to learn the pr ofession of making money, to always be obedient and not to go against adults, and to have your own ideas is not necessa rily a good thing.
《Absolute gaze》 In the eyes of our parents and elders when we were children, they were gods and could do anything, a nd what they told us mus t be right. We don't have the ability to survive inde pendently, we need their feeding and education, an d suitable guidance, Until we start hurting , we will fi nd that adults are more li ke a master who controls you, At first, the child will blame himself, it must be t hat I did something wrong to my family to do this to me, Slowly, we learn, we c ontrast, we think, We've come to learn that some p arents aren't that wise, No t evening learning to truly love children. They are lik e gazes from the subconsc ious, Create a permanent shadow for your child.
a man who walks life alone, defiled, bears sins, drinks bitter wine, and finds a way out.——From Hermann Hesse
《Invade the mind》 Children will always open their hearts to believe in their families, fully expand themselves, let parents penetrate, and once there is something they don't like, they will steal it or even destroy it in their own way of cognition, just for those parents whose cognition only stays in this wa y of processing.
Everyone needs to be tempered from the real growth and real maturity, and everyone has to take their own difficult growth road,On this path,we often lose ourselves, complain, rest, It will also go on a rampage and even lie down and not move forward . My childhood was unfortunate, but also lucky. Luckily, I knew what I liked at a very young age , who I was from a young age and why did I come here? What am I doing here? What will happen to me in the future? Such questions are of interest unfortunately,My family didn't like the love I expressed for art and the ethereal questions I asked every day .I don't like that I secretly knead clay cups, secretly draw, secretly do crafts, and don't like that I secretly read a hundred thousand whys and whimsy. They agreed that I should like economics or medicine, and that I must be this kind of major when I grow up,and then make good money to repay them; I also think that I should be a lady, not be able to make outright movements, and not like "boy's toys"I need to pass persistence,Resist, tell, explain, make 、 achievements, slowly convince the people around you, do not go against your love, and slowly embrace your true self.
《karma》 《No matter where you hide——Mandatory discipline》 The small door of the pocket represents the girl's heart, which was originally warm, clean and open , She believes that the old man will not hurt her, she puts her apple in the small house, only to be discovered by the old man, the old man steals the apple, and the old man wants to transform her apple and make her what she wants.
When I became myself, the voice of the outside world was no longer so important.
