To drink a glass of water is to ingest the ghosts
of bodies that haunt that water...And that same glass of water will facilitate our movement, growth,
thinking, loving.

Body of Water, 2012

Abstract

This a mythological story about fish, recounting a great revolution in their history. The image is entirely generated by AI, infused with the magic of a witch. Together with hydrofeminism, it tells the story of the fish's experience in the 21st century under the weight of capitalism and anthropocentrism. They were relentlessly slaughtered, their forms altered by human nuclear wastewater. As sea levels rose, towering skyscrapers were swallowed by the oceans, leaving countless Noah’s Arks stranded on small patches of sand. From that point on, all that remained was a fish paradise.

This myth, absurd and surreal, consciously reflects the fluid and interpenetrating amniotic membrane of human and non-human existence, challenging binary thinking. It urges viewers to rethink our relationship with non-human beings, with nature, and with the planet. Will we choose coexistence, or face extinction alone? We still have right to choice？
