In 2022, as the nationwide pandemic measures that had been in place for three years were gradually lifted, I embarked on a project of creating sketches of over 30 people engaged in conversations by the roadside. These sketches served as my personal monument to commemorate the three-year ordeal of the pandemic. Through this collection of drawings, I aimed to remind myself that amidst the necessity of maintaining a distance of "one meter or more" between individuals, we were now returning to a proximity of "within one meter." It symbolized the idea that every person had paid a significant price during this period. It served as a poignant reminder of the shared experiences and sacrifices that we all went through during the pandemic, bringing us closer together once again.
2022年,蔓延了三年的全国防疫措施被逐步取消时,我用素描画了30几位在路边谈话的人,作为我身陷三年疫灾的私人纪念碑。我希望用这套画提醒自己,人和人之间,从必须间隔“一米以上”距离,重新回到“一米以内”,每个人都曾付出巨大代价。
