An Anonymous Gift2023
This is a contemporary fable: a mysterious gift opens onto a kingdom ruled by geese in red robes, where geese and fish-people, trapped in endless production, worship a meaningless statue at the center of the square. Through an absurdist narrative, the work refracts real-world power and oppression, mirrors the predicaments facing youth entering society, and invites viewers to reflect on structural problems that resist eradication.

Inside the factory, there is a huge mechanical stomach, and the fish and geese that jump in are

Goose people were not taken care of by their parents when they were young. After their parents grew
old, young geese were forced to carry their immobile old geese up the mountain under the supervision
of regulators.
The Goose Man and the Fish Man worship the strange sculpture at the center of the world together,
because they are told that they can live a better life by making a wish to him. However, what they
don't know is that this large sculpture is just an inflatable balloon, and after the sun sets, the
regulators put it away.

Regulators are actually a group of dressed up geese, and the whole world is actually a theater. After
removing their beautiful pupils and eye makeup, and taking off their clothes, they even smoke at the
back door of the theater.
