According to the Bible·Old Testament·Genesis, humans

built the Tower of Babel in order to conquer nature

and challenge God. In order to punish the human race

and  prevent them from continuing to  build towers,

God distinguished the languages of human beings, so

that people were scattered in different places due to

different  languages, and the building of towers was

abandoned halfway.

In this series of works, various  kinds of  imaginary

buildings appear in the picture. The air-conditioned

exterior machines are piled up into “tall buildings”. The

moon is also tightly wrapped by dense highways and

buildings. Urbanization makes the city bright at night,

and we look up and never see the stars again. In project

“The Moon Plan  Ⅲ”, I fused the lights of the city into a

dark picture to create an “artificial sky”. In project “The

Moon Plan  Ⅳ  ”, mountains, jungles, scaffolding and

urban architecture are integrated. In the future, it may

be difficult for us to distinguish where the boundary

between man and nature lies. The city is the “Tower of

Babel” of this era. In fact, mankind’s desire to challenge

God and conquer nature seems to haven never faded.

So what will God’s punishment be for future human

beings?
