"Earth has been around for 4.5 billion years, and life has existed for at least 3.6 billion years. From the scale of the universe, humanity can only be considered as a civilization in its infancy."

We attempt to use this assignment as a medium to showcase the story of Earth, life, and even civilization. After the Big Bang, celestial collisions gave birth to Earth. Over the next billions of years, Earth cooled from a molten ball into an icy one, nurturing life. From the birth of plants, the rise of animals, to the dominance of humans, this piece, from an artistic perspective, uses a combination of various materials and techniques to depict the different historical stages of this planet.

In terms of form, several planets are arranged in a vertical line, with mirrors standing between each pair, allowing the visual to extend and conceal the transformation of materials. This allows the audience to contemplate the relevance and relativity of time and space while traversing through the exhibition.

”地球诞生了45亿年,生命至少存在了36亿年。从宇宙的尺度看,人类只能算一个文明的胚胎。”
我们试图以本次作业为载体,展现地球与生命乃至文明的故事。在宇宙大爆炸之后,天体的碰撞诞生了地球,在之后的几十亿年间,地球从岩浆球冷却成了冰球,孕育了生命。从植物诞生、动物上位、到人类称霸,本作以艺术的视角,多材料工艺结合的手法再现了这颗行星的不同历史阶段。
形式上,数枚星球排成竖直一列,两两中间又竖立镜子,让视觉既延申,又夹藏材质间的转换,让观众在穿梭展品中时思考时间与空间的相关性以及相对性。
