Somatic Nebula originates from my profound realization of my own “scar-prone constitution.” The persistent bruises and marks on my skin, along with neurodermatitis born of anxiety, have become the most visceral evidence of “psychosomatic monism.” As I observe these subtle traces upon the dermal surface, I seem to discern the microcosms and reflections of the universe.
As early as the Western Han Dynasty, the philosopher Dong Zhongshu proposed the theory of Ren Fu Tian Shu (Man corresponds to the numbers of Heaven). Utilizing various photographic methods, I attempt to create macroscopic celestial bodies through the medium of the physical body. The microscopic flesh echoes the evolution of the cosmos, and in this moment, life becomes a “self-creating universe.”
《往复皆星辰》始于我对自身「疤痕体质」的体认。皮肤上久不退散的淤青与伤痕,以及随焦虑而生的神经性皮炎,成为了「身心一元论」最直观的证据。当我观察这些肌肤表层的细微痕迹时,仿佛看见了宇宙的缩影与映射。
早在西汉时期,思想家董仲舒便提出「人副天数」的学说。我试图用基于摄影来获取图像的多种方法,借由身体创造出宏观的天体与宇宙中的星图。微观的肉体与宇宙的演化遥相呼应,生命在这一刻成为了「自我创造的宇宙」。
