Bye-bye Snowball is inspired by the British film of the same name. For me, it tells the story of a childhood companion who reappears later in life in the form of a ghost. I lived in an international community in Shanghai. Since primary school, my friends left one by one—first transferring schools, then going abroad. Their greyed-out profile pictures on social media gradually replaced their faces in my memory. In high school, I heard that my deskmate from primary school had passed away. I remembered him as a shy, melancholic boy. He once told me that his mother suffered from severe obsessive cleanliness, scrubbing her body repeatedly in the bathtub every day, and that his father had to pay for enormous water bills, leaving the family in poverty. Later, he too went abroad to study. I still don’t know whether that story was true, but I’ve always felt that their lives—his, and others who are still alive but have vanished without a trace—have dissipated like mist.

Eros is part of my most recent print project In My Flat. It presents a series of bitter memories that took place in my apartment. I employ techniques such as overprinting, preserving the mistakes, and using the reflective qualities of materials in both the printmaking and display processes. These methods are meant to invite the viewer to experience the story through closely touch and peep. The narrative remains semi-open—intimate and resonant for some individuals, yet guarded by a transparent boundary that protects myself. Eros is a portrait of the lover—very intelligent, decent, masculine, yet also arrogant, extremely violent, and always silent like a wall.
