这件壁画作品从我的绘画“无用的理想空间”转换而来。它曾经被转换而存在与一个市集的小杂货铺空间之中，小铺子变成了一个无用但又理想化的绘画空间。而今这件绘画被延伸至一栋看似是临时住宅或办公的土黄色排楼的表面，从而形成了一个新的现实空间。这个现实空间与真实的环境是否产生了密切的联系，它是否能作为一种方式去丈量这个环境，或重塑这个环境，是这个“无用的理想空间”试图讨论的议题。

This mural painting was originated from my painting "Ideal&Useless Space". It was once transformed into a small bazaar space in a market, and the small shop became a useless but idealized painting space. Today the painting is extended to teh surface of a khaki-colored building that looks like a temporary house or office, creating a new real space. Whether this real space is closely related to the real environment, whether it can be used as a way to measure the environment is the topic that the series Ideal&Useless Space is trying to discuss.

《短片》一系列动态图像叙述简短的故事或者对场景进行描绘。档案照片收集自俄亥俄州立大学伯德极地研究中心。当组合成序列时，照片的原始语境略微改变，以构建可能发生在偏远南极貌似幽默或微不足道的新叙事。它们大多浪漫或幽默，内容涉及景观、景观中的人物、生存、以及对寂静或细节的放大。

Short Films is a series of GIF images narrating short stories or depicting scenes. The archival photographs were collected from the Ohio State University Byrd Polar Research Center. When combined into sequences, the original contexts of the photographs were slightly shifted to build new narratives (usually humorous or insignificant by appearance) that could happen in the remote place Antarctica. They are mostly romantic or of a wry humor, concerning landscape, the figure in landscape, survival, and the amplification of silence or detail.
