通过串联斗蛐蛐到奥特曼打怪兽的图像，来讨论斗兽文化和创造怪兽的臆想。

“狮子和老虎究竟哪个厉害？”是从古至今几大割席断交话题。斗兽文化根植于人类文明史，这不仅仅是胜负心怂恿下的原始暴力性，也包含了天马行空的想象力。从利用A+B=C公式堆砌怪兽，再到拟神格的超人，空想出的斗兽场中夹杂了原始的幻想。

By connecting images from cricket fights to Ultraman battling monsters, this piece delves into the culture of beast combat and the imagination behind creating monsters.

'Which is more formidable, the lion or the tiger?' is a topic that has severed ties and caused disputes since ancient times. The culture of beast combat is deeply rooted in human civilization history. It's not just the primal aggression driven by the desire to win, but also includes unbridled imagination. From constructing monsters using an A+B=C formula to the deified superhumans, the imagined arena of beast combat is interspersed with raw fantasy. The special product accompanying this issue is a 'Monster Blind Box' collectible, with an option for a three-piece set available.

about EggPlant鹅卵茄
在对 “eggplant“ 英文一词的凝视中，我们意识到茄子的命名可能是由一颗形似鹅蛋的白茄子而来，这个单词成型背后包含了类型学，造词现象，图像翻译等可发散讨论的方向。受此启发，我们将EggPlant译为鹅卵茄。鹅卵茄旨在发现艺术家和个人，共同探索艺术和商品之间的缝隙的可能性。

Staring at the term “eggplant” , we realized its name likely got from a white oval aubergine in 19 century. The structure of the term could extend to a discussion of typology, phenomenon of coinage and image translation, and so on. Inspired by this mishmash experience, EggPlant aims to collaborate with artists and creative individuals to explore the possibility of the niche between art and merchandise.
