《我的面庞》
滇瑞香、手工纸、亚克力灯箱，44 × 109 cm，2025
以滇西六百年造纸传统中使用的植物滇瑞香为材料，这件作品围绕语言、植物与身份之间的同构关系展开。该植物原非构树，却在明代中原移民入滇后被沿袭构树之名，成为地方造纸工艺中的“构皮”。 材料名称的替代与延续，揭示历史记忆在迁移与殖民中的指认与知识挪用。
作品通过拉伸植物纤维、捻结文字的方式构成一个由“Visage”(面 庞)”组成的文字形象，法语的使用亦是对语言迁移与艺术家个体 经验的回应，指向记忆、身体与语言之间始终未被缝合的间隙。
Mon Visage
Daphne feddei, handmade paper, acrylic light box, 44 × 109 cm, 2025
Using the plant Daphne feddei, traditionally employed in a six-hundred-year- old papermaking craft in western Yunnan, this work explores the isomorphic relationship between language, botany, and identity. Though unrelated to Broussonetia papyrifera, the plant was given its name by Han migrants during the Ming dynasty and came to be known locally as "Goupi" (paper bark). This renaming and continuity reflect how historical memory is shaped by migration, colonial dynamics, and the appropriation of knowledge.
Through stretching the fibers and twisting them into text, the piece forms the phrase “visage” (face) — the use of French is also responds to the artist’s personal experience of cultural migration. The work points to the unstitched seams between memory, body, and language.
