Imaginations of Future Rights of Nature｜自然权利之未来想象

This project sets out to investigate how the concept of Rights of Nature could fundamentally reshape existing international legal frameworks and global diplomatic systems. Dominated by anthropocentric logic, today’s governance systems regard nature as property for human exploitation, failing to recognize its intrinsic value and independent agency. Through speculative visioning, the work unfolds a hypothetical future in which Rights of Nature are embedded deep within the architecture of global governance.

该项目探讨了“自然权利”这一概念如何从底层重塑现行的国际法律框架与全球外交体系。当下的治理体系受人类中心主义的逻辑主导，将自然视作可供人类开采利用的财产，拒绝承认其自身的内在价值与独立能动性。作品通过思辨式视角，铺展了一幅将自然权利嵌入全球治理架构的未来图景。

Systems of Care in Slime Moulds｜黏菌中的照护系统

This is a long‑term trans‑species experimental work exploring the complex interrelations between human beings and non‑human organisms, between individual acts of care and collective responsibility, and between self and other. The artist establishes a sustained co‑habitation with a slime mould colony, developing a bond built upon interdependency, symbiosis and constant mutual transformation.

这是一项长期跨物种的实验性作品，探究了人与非人的生物体、个体照护行为与集体责任、自我与他者之间复杂的关系。艺术家与黏菌建立了持续的共栖关系，发展出一段建立在相互依存、共生、不断相互转化中的联结。

Entanglement: Collaborations in Uncertainty｜纠缠：不确定性协作

Inspired by matsutake fungi and the vast underground mycorrhizal networks, the work contemplates those non‑hegemonic modes of survival beneath the earth’s surface. It visualizes a sprawling micro‑topological landscape woven from the chance interweaving of life trajectories across different species. Within the dark subterranean realm, diverse life‑forms seek allies as wandering ink‑veins, navigating between endless ruptures and continuities.

作品从松茸与庞大的地下菌根网络受到启示，思考了地表之下那些非霸权的生存模式。它将一幅宏大的微观拓扑图景进行了视觉化，这张网络由不同物种的生命轨迹交织而成。在幽暗的地下空间中，各类生命如同游走的墨色脉络，寻找着盟友，并在无尽的断裂与延续之间穿行。

Tidal Movements｜潮汐律动

This work consists of three independent text‑based pieces responding respectively to three critical tidal phases that shape mangrove habitats. Centred on mangrove ecology, these texts contemplate pressing global contemporary challenges through the observational lens of botany. The work explores deep entanglements between water, woody mangrove vegetation and human coastal settlements.

作品由三件独立的文本作品构成，分别对应塑造红树林生境的三个关键潮汐阶段。文本围绕红树林生态展开思考，借由植物学的观察视角审视当代世界亟待回应的诸多困境。作品探寻水域、红树林植被与人类海岸聚落之间深层的纠缠关系。

The Nest Within Guanyin｜观音巢

In 2022, chance brought a mud‑dauber wasp to the hollow cavity carved on the back of a damaged wooden Guanyin sculpture dating back to the Qing dynasty. The insect constructed its own mud nest deep inside this human‑made hollow space. The wooden sculpture is nearly two hundred years old. Its rear cavity was originally designed for the traditional religious ritual practice of Zhuangzang, in which scriptures, grains and sacred objects would be placed inside during worship ceremonies. Long after this human‑centred ritual function faded and fell out of use, the empty cavity found a new purpose as a home for the wasp.

一只泥蜂偶然飞进一件清代木雕观音造像背部的空腔，并在这个人类凿出的空洞深处筑起自己的泥巢。这件木雕造像距今已有近两百年历史，背部的空腔原本用于传统宗教仪式中的“装藏”，礼拜时会向内安放经文、谷物与圣物。当这套以人类为中心的仪式功能彻底退场之后，空腔被泥蜂征用为居所。

Drift of the Uncharted｜未知的漂行

This is an experimental robotic performance integrating expanded‑cinema techniques, built upon climate‑change forecasting, real‑world landscape scanning and virtual digital reconstruction. Speculating over futures shaped by accelerating sea‑level rise, the work transforms familiar urban landscapes into immersive visionary scenes revealing the potential destructive impacts of climate crisis. A quadruped robot, imagined as a rescue unit from a distant future, travels across both physical exhibition space and virtual digital realms. It projects apocalyptic imagery of submerged cityscapes onto surrounding exhibition surfaces.

The Earth Speaks Back：A Letter from the Trea Diplomat | 地球回响：垂亚外交官的来信

In this work, non‑human beings are treated as present, legitimate agents rather than mere topics for human discussion. Rejecting the conventional goal of reaching negotiated consensus, the work format prioritizes subtle, genuine, irreversible contact between human participants and more‑than‑human entities.

作品将非人类生命视作在场且具备正当性的行动者，而不仅仅是供人类讨论的话题。作品摒弃了由谈判达成共识这一传统目标，更加看重人类参与者与超越人类生命之间微妙、真实且不可逆转的相遇。
