Concept:

1. This work is trying to express a religious emotion about
    human living conditions at the present time. It also pays  
    close attention to human destiny in the future.
    Environmental damage and increasing population are 
    causing our living space to become smaller; there are
    large numbers of immigrants and refugees around world,
    conflict between humans; environmental degradation, with
    religious intolerance getting ever worse, with people 
    becoming more and more estranged. The resulting
    isolation and estrangement create suffering for human life
    at the present. So, people feel disturbed, senseless,
    solitary and experience dread.
2. In the painting there are some islands surrounded by 
    ocean. Some of the human figures on the island are
    fighting, some are thinking, some pray and some run.
    Because they are on islands, there seems nowhere to go.
3. This painting is largely covered with the image of water. 
    The technique of expressing water borrows from traditional
    Chinese painting. The water image endlessly repeat lines
    that tend to formularize and generalize the composition
    giving the painting a mysterious feeling. Also, some old
    eastern and western map images and western

medieval art will be used in this painting. All elements mix together to express a consciousness of crisis and misery

Composition and installation:

1. The painting forms with 48 panels, each panel is 102 x 51
    (cm). The installation of this painting refers to the attached
    drawing. The painting hangs in 3 rows, each row contains
    16 panels. There is a 7 cm space between each row and
    each panel. The bottom row should be 40 cm above floor.
    The total space requires of this painting is 921 x 320 (cm)
    including the spacing.
2. There is about 1 ton of sand required for the installation.
    An oval shaped sand hill should set up in front of the
    painting (921 x 200 cm). The space between sand hill and
    painting is 150 cm (refer to attachment).
3. There are about 20 objects installed on the sand hill,
    including china, bottles, glasses, a clock and TV. The 51
    or 68 cm video TV set in the middle of the sand hill, will
    have specially made video of waves striking on the beach
    playing repeatedly on it.
