Pass and Future
Pass and Future is a painting that reinterprets the Monkey King, a classical figure of Chinese literature. The work is made with acrylic on canvas and spray paint, combining graffiti and acrylic painting techniques. Traditional imagery is joined with cyberpunk and science fiction elements to form a new visual effect. The painting measures 420 mm in width, 20 mm in depth and 596 mm in height. The intent is to invite reflection on the relationship between artificial intelligence and human society, and to bring traditional culture closer to younger viewers.
