Body painting


















I don't like the human body; it's beautiful, but it limits people, it limits art, and I think itlimits the integration of people and nature. Iwant my body to be just a tool—it'soverportrayed. I'm impulsive, passionate, and I don't know why, but I want my body tobe integrated with nature. I want my body tobe imprinted at the age of 18; I want to feelmyself, that's all. So I used my bodypaintings to make an installation, put itoutside, and let it wash out with the rain.




2024 mixed media 3m*2m*2m




I bought gouache paint because it canbe washed by rain and does not hurtmy body, so I began to try it. It tookme about a month to explore andcreate many such works. On the 5mby 2m canvas, I created these worksfor the first time, but when I stood onthe canvas with paint, it seemed thatmy body did not belong to me—it wasjust my tool.
