Description
This installation could be divided into two parts: the painting on the wall, and the fish tanks on the floor. In the painting, a deer is outlined in black, and is portrayed in the position of turning backward. At the top right corner, there is a depiction of an up-side-down astronaut seemingly working inside a boat. Despite these two detailed renderings, the rest of the painting is applied with large areas of black color blocks. Besides, there are crushed cans stuck on the color blacks, which form a semi-figurative design on the work. On the ground, two fish tanks are placed side by side. One has empty glass bottles, green LED light, and several artificial fish placed in it, and the other one is filled with water. (Yifan Shang ‘25)
