Everything in the world is a constant process of creation and destruction. Buddhist thangkas are made by human hands. The complex patterns and prosperous colors originate from human hands. Machines are also created by humans and come in a variety of shapes and uses. However, these things that were created in the hands of humans are eventually destroyed by the hands of humans, and their disappearance is like a reward for the creator. The director constantly creates and destroys things, and the cycle is repeated in front of the audience. Many things in the world are like sand on a thangka. Once destroyed, they will never leave any traces.
From the most primitive village to the most prosperous city, the audience can see the endless connection between time and national culture. Indigenous people imprisoned by national culture, prisoners bound by prisons, and poor living in slums behind prosperous cities have been abandoned by the outside world, have lost their freedom and respect, and are restricted by invisible culture and institutions. It shows the audience the real life state of the human beings behind the prosperous world, and their eyes are looking at distant places, their eager and desperate eyes are deeply branded in the hearts of the audience. However, human life in the new century is mechanized. In the factory, the workers do one thing repeatedly, and the same action is repeated all the time, showing this manipulated state of life in front of the audience. The performance artist shows the audience the distorted life state caused by the depression of life, which is very depressing and makes the audience feel immersed in the scene. The livestock kept in captivity by human beings are demanded uncontrollably by human beings. After making contributions to human beings, they still cannot escape the fate of death. These brought not only shock to the audience, but also deep thinking.
The 38th parallel in the Southern and Northern Dynasties separates the cultures of the two places and is also the thread of death. The separation wall between the two countries separates the people of the two countries, but what cannot be separated is a spirit and the pursuit of faith. Mechanized life is a world without faith. On the contrary, there are huge crowds around the mosque. People move slowly and orderly in the same direction around the mosque, like a slowly rotating disc, allowing the audience to see the reincarnation. The outline, people kneeling and standing at the same time, is the power of religion, but also the power of faith, which makes the audience shocked by this spirit, and explains to the audience the truth that "people are constantly reincarnated, but the sacred faith always exists".
Reincarnation is the process of constant creation and constant destruction of all things, including human beings.
