Works statement:
Chinese folk superstitions use cups, rice, and cloth to retrieve the souls of those who lost their souls after being frightened by accident. In today's social environment, where material and utilitarianism are paramount, collective social anxiety has also promoted a large number of people who "lost their souls." Where lies those depressed or forgotten souls behind the prosperity of society? So I used this method to collect souls at the scene of life. I looked for alternative materials for cloth, cups, and rice in the city. Through the concept orientation, I changed the original state of the material and redefined the original nature of the material. The whole concept was divided into materials, experimental actions, time, and space. The questions it discussed were thrown through the choice of production methods and materials. The final work was only the final condensed state, and even a lie was described.
作品介绍：
民间迷信有用杯子，米，布的方法来招回受意外惊吓后“掉魂”者的灵魂。当年北京许多边缘人群不得不离开，集体性的焦虑与抑郁也促增了大批的被压抑与被遗忘的“掉魂”者。那些繁荣背后的那些被压抑或遗忘的灵魂，应何处安放？于是我用这种方式在生活现场为那些失散的灵魂进行收魂。在城市中寻找布，杯子，米的替代材料，通过概念导向，改造材料原有状态，重新定义材料原有性质。我用镀黄金金属包裹着废旧的工厂零件，里面的大米因为高压成了爆米花，作为一件礼物 ，21克也是一个灵魂的重量。将整个概念在材料、实验行动以及时空中拆分，通过在制作方式与材料的选择来抛出其探讨的问题，作品的呈现只是最后凝结的状态 ，甚至是在描摹一种谎言。
