Creation Description:”Releasing Life” is an ecological art installation that uses a 30-meter-long and 1.5-meter-diameter transparent plastic bag as its medium. The work places this thin yet huge man-made object on an open lake surface, making it a sensitive carrier for capturing the intangible natural forces.
The wind – this kind of flowing energy that is usually invisible – has taken on a concrete form at this moment. Plastic bags undulate, stretch and gather with the wind, casting changing wrinkles and shadows on the water surface, becoming faithful recorders of air movement. Sometimes it fluctuates gently like breathing, and sometimes it curls violently, drawing lines full of tension between the lake and the sky.
The work reveals the ubiquitous yet often overlooked energy flow in nature through the simplest artificial materials. As a symbol of the consumer society, plastic bags are “released” into the natural system here and transformed into a medium of pure perception. It invites viewers to re-examine the dialogue between wind and water, and in the symbiosis of industrial products and natural forces, reflect on the subtle boundaries between the visible and the invisible, the ephemeral and the eternal, the artificial and the natural.

创作说明:《放生》是一件以30米长、1.5米直径的透明塑料袋为媒介的生态艺术装置。作品将这一轻薄而巨大的人造物置于开阔湖面,使其成为捕捉无形自然力的敏感载体。

风——这种平日不可见的流动能量,在此刻获得了具象的形态。塑料袋随风起伏、舒展、聚拢,在水面投下变幻的褶皱与阴影,成为空气运动的忠实记录者。它时而如呼吸般轻柔波动,时而激烈翻卷,在湖光天色间划出充满张力的线条。

作品通过最简单的人造材料,揭示了自然中无所不在却常被忽视的能量流动。塑料袋作为消费社会的符号,在此被“放生”于自然系统,转化为纯粹感知的媒介。它邀请观者重新凝视风与水的对话,在工业制品与自然力量的共生中,反思可见与不可见、短暂与永恒、人造与自然之间的微妙边界。
