According to my interest in mild poetry, I illustrate by a traditional method. Selecting a documentary style film Le Quattro Volte, and creating a zine based on its movie trailers. The overall tone is warm and natural. I especially select double frame footage to illustrate verses, which create a quiet and peaceful entirety with delicate vitality.

根据温和的诗歌，我用传统的方法绘画。选择纪录片风格的电影《四次》，并根据其预告片制作一本小志。整体色调温暖自然。我特别选择了双帧画面来诠释诗句，营造出一个安静祥和的整体，同时又有着微妙的生命力。

The Canterbury Tales 坎特伯雷故事集

60Pages

2019

In European history, the late medieval described as a mysterious, chaotic period full of difficulties, and calamities, consisting of famine, plague, and war. In this time, the word of religious authorities over personal experience and rational activity. The Black Death make a comprehensive reform of European society, cause a strong surge of unrest, magnify the weakness of human nature infinitely, and reflect the miseries of the civilians. This period is recorded by numerous artworks, such as Bosch, Geoffrey Chaucer, and Pieter Bruegel the Elder. The various aspects of the human world and life stories can be seen. I adapt stories from The Canterbury Tales by Geoffrey Chaucer, express in a traditional linear narrative from an outsider's perspective. I express an old story in a new way, focusing on the movie The Canterbury Tales by Pier Paolo Pasolini, connecting the ancient story and the current context. In this book, I did abundant research about the lifestyle in the medieval period and the correlative artworks as a method prepared to build the story content and contextualized the reference into the current social environment.

在欧洲历史上，中世纪晚期被描述为充满困难和灾难的神秘、混乱的时期，充斥着饥荒、瘟疫和战争。这时期宗教权威超过个人经验和理性活动。黑死病对欧洲社会产生了全面变革，引发强烈动荡，将人性弱点无限放大，折射出民众的苦难。无数记录这一时期艺术作品可见人间百态，如耶罗尼米斯·博斯、杰弗里·乔叟和老彼得·勃鲁盖尔。故事改编自杰弗里·乔叟的《坎特伯雷故事集》，我从局外人的视角以传统的线性叙事方式表达，聚焦皮埃尔·保罗·帕索里尼的电影《坎特伯雷故事集》，将古老的故事与当下的语境联系起来。在这本书中，我对中世纪时期的生活方式和相关的艺术作品进行了大量的研究，以此作为构建故事内容的方法，并将语境放置到当前的社会环境中。

People in the Loneliness 孤独的人

People In the Loneliness was inspirited by my experience, a sense of loneliness when I saw the giant thing. Under the big contrast between huge things and tiny things, it represents a sense of enormous, vacuous and boundless. I express this feeling through 3 zines. The first zine depicts a man on the mountaintop, and the second zine shows a man standing before the celestial body. These two zines utilize the approach of zoom-in, and people gradually turn to a small spot from feature to panoramic. Another zine shows a man in the water, displaying the relationship between a person and the world from different aspects. I also make three installations correspondingly, which can show the spatial relationship directly. In the wonder world, the fragility and uncontrollability of human can be shown concretely, and the contrast can be extended unlimitedly in the limited area.

灵感来自于看到巨物时的孤独感，巨大和微小之间的对比表现出一种空虚和无边无际。我通过三本小志来表达。第一本描绘的是一个人站在山顶上，第二本描绘的是一个人站在天体前。这两本小志采用拉近画面的方法，从特写转到全景。另一本展示了人在水里，从不同的角度展示了人与世界的关系。我相应地做了三个装置，可以直接表现空间关系。人类的脆弱和不可控得以具体性的展现，反差在有限的区域内无限延伸。

Whales 鲸

The flipbook was inspired by the scene I saw whales swimming in the aquarium, the huge body driving a lot of water. They have a different time from humans, an uncatchable speed, and flow with tons of water. I animate it by hand drawing and fit it into a flipbook. Capturing the moment that whale opens its mouth, then the water and time flow through.

手翻书灵感来自我在水族馆里看到鲸鱼游动的场景，巨大的身体带动着大量的水流。它们的时间与人类不同，速度惊人，而且流量巨大。我用手绘制作动画，并把它放进手翻书里。鲸鱼张开嘴的那一刻，水和时间从中流过。

Kappa 河童

Kappa focuses on the narrative of the Kappa featured in the novel by Ryunosuke Akutagawa. The Kappa is a mythical creature, some ancient documents depict them as a water elf, worshipped as a sacred river beast. As the belief in Kappa folklore diminished depictions of the Kappa evolved to those of a monster. Many people believe kappa exists but seldom see it. My project explores Kappa as a metaphor for human society, targeted at the pollution problem, exploring the relationship between humans and the environment.

本书侧重于芥川⻰之介小说中的河童叙事。河童是⼀种神话⽣物，⼀些古代文献将其描述为⽔精灵，被奉为神圣的河兽。随着对河童⺠间传说的信仰减少，对河童的描绘演变为对怪物的描绘。许多人相信河童的存在，但很少看到它。我的项⽬将河童作为⼈类社会的隐喻，针对污染问题，探索⼈类与环境的关系。
