Installation I
Explore people's fears of monsters. Initially, monsters originated from people's fear of the unknown, and gradually evolved into the fear and worship of abnormal things and indescribable forces.
Use natural and industrial materials to make monster specimens, and design wooden boxes with lookin holes as wonder cabinets.
Installation II
Explore the fears caused by physical and psychological distance between people. The original plan was to have two rooms with one participant entering each, but shadows of participants in the other room could be seen projected on the walls of the room. When the relative distance between the two people is far away, the shadow of the other party will become very weird and huge; when the two people are close, the shadow of the other party will become normal.
Due to the fact that the actual construction was not possible due to the epidemic, the changes in the shadows were simulated using a computer.
