Picture Prophecy No.2: Monster Hunt

The shattered red ceramics in this work symbolize the fragility of civilization. Once vessels of order, craft, and continuity, they now remain only as fragments—ornamented yet unable to contain or sustain meaning. Red no longer signifies celebration, but functions as a visual alarm.

The translucent jellyfish embodies the “monster” of the present: invisible yet pervasive, soft yet harmful. It cannot be grasped, only felt through pain. Floating above newsprint and ceramic debris, it represents a diffuse force that obscures perception and resists control.

Monster Hunt exposes a paradox of contemporary vision: the desire to seize truth through rigid structures only deepens injury. What confronts us today is not a visible enemy, but an ungraspable, expanding condition—one that transforms viewing itself into a risky act.

《图谶2·捉妖记》

画面中破碎的红色陶瓷象征文明与秩序的脆性——器物的纹样仍在，却已失去承载与完整性，红色不再指向喜庆，而成为警示。
透明的水母构成“妖”的当代表象：无形、漂浮、不可握，却在接触中带来伤害。它覆盖于报纸与碎瓷之上，形成对观看的遮蔽与麻痹。
《捉妖记》揭示一种悖论：当人们试图以确定性的结构捕捉真相，所面对的却是无法被捕获的现实状态，使观看本身成为一场风险。
