Inspiration

Pumpkin, Time, Eyes

南瓜、时间、眼睛

This collage work is inspired by these three key words.
这幅拼贴作品的灵感来源于这3个关键词。

Kusama’s colorful, striped pumpkin seems grow in the world of fairy tale.
草间弥生的色彩斑斓、条纹奇异的南瓜，像生长在童话世界一样。

And time does not exit the world of fairy tale because all the beauty would stay forever.
而童话世界没有时间这个概念，一切美好的东西似乎都会永驻。

However, the world of fairy tale is a illusion, which only exists in our eyes, in our fantasy.
但是童话世界不是真实的存在，它只存在于我们的眼中、存在于我们的幻想里。

We observe the changes of people and things around us through our eyes.
相反，我们的眼睛也可以通过身边人和事的变化、而感到到时间的流逝。

But can we really distinguish between fantasy and reality?
但是，虚幻和现实、理想与现实我们真的分得清吗？

If This Collage Is an Installation

If the collage is turned into an art installation, I would hang it on the ceiling of the teacher’s office in Moonshot Academy.
如果把这幅拼贴作品做成一个艺术装置，那它可能会被挂在探月学院的教师办公室的天花板上。

In Moonshot, everyone is trying to find a balance between ideal and reality.
在探月学院的每一个人似乎尝试在在理想和现实当中找到平衡。

We have a beautiful ideal, “to bring change to human education”, but at the same time, we also need to face and recognize the real difficulties and problems brought about by innovation.
我们拥有一个美好的理想，“为人类教育带来变革”，但同时也需要面对、并认清着创新所带来的真实困难和问题。

I hope the bright and rich colors in this work can bring people with the joy of being beautiful and permanent.
我希望这个作品丰富的颜色，让人感受到美好常驻的喜悦。

But the figures of an eye, and a clock can trigger people to think about ideal and reality.
但眼睛、钟表（钟表声的时间）是黑色的。单一的颜色可以留给人们对于理想和现实的思考的空间。
