From the series "A strong beast hunts alone"

The state is broken — the mountains and rivers remain.
It's spring in the city, and the grass and trees are thick.
From time to time, grieving, the flowers splash with tears.
Hating separation, birds disturb the heart. "Spring view" / 春望:Yao Hua. 576g. The artist is still trying to produce a sign of hope. The emptiness of nature is not like a decoration, but like a philosophical machine. In this system, man is not the master of the world, but a temporary point inside the cosmos. He sits, watches, tries. The method of thinking in space. Landscape as an ontology. There is a term in architecture — prestressed construction, this is when it is clear that just a straight beam will not withstand the load, it is pre-bent so that the bending force works against the load force, but everything looks calm, everything is beautiful so far. Not a single beast is visible, but you are visible to the beast. Because the hunt is on for you. The beast must not be left without prey.
