我们正处在一个急速巨变的世界中，房间里的大象膈应着每一个人，没有一个人能逃离，没有一个人能避而不见。不确定的、含混的、迷茫的…… 这些已经成为了我们生活的常态。“未知”，是我们不得不接受的现实状态，大家都站在充满了不确定性的十字路口前。

“未知”，又未必是一件坏事。诚然，任何科学研究的前提之一是“分类”，但没有“分类”是因为对事物依然有疑问，能带来更多的探究。灵魂之花是无法被定义，无法被归类的，思想的自由是没有界限的。既然“我的花还没有名字”，那么就希望展现艺术家突破传统材料的边界禁锢，寻找新的可能，表达艺术家的个体思绪以及对于自我、关系和世界本质的探索。在这样的“不确定”之中能抓取出思想的灵光，这是转瞬即逝的，是值得纪念的。这份珍贵的敏感是在这个变革世界中的“心锚”。当我们对这个世界还能持续发问的时候，就证明我们依然保有好奇和激情，保有野蛮生长的力量，还能继续向前。

没有人可以真正了解这个世界，这也是这个世界带给我们短暂人生的乐趣和考验。

敬这个未定义、混乱又让人着迷的世界。

We live in a rapidly changing world, where the elephant in the room makes everyone uncomfortable, but no one can escape from it, and no one can avoid it. There is uncertainty, ambiguousness and confusion…all of which have become the normal state of our life. “The Unknown” is the reality that we have to accept, and everyone is standing at the crossroads full of uncertainty.

However, “the Unknown” is not necessarily a bad thing. Admittedly, one of the premises of any scientific research is “classification”, but the reason the reason why “unclassified” things exit is that we still have doubts about things, which may bring about more inquiry. The flower of our Soul cannot be defined or classified, because the freedom of our thought knows no boundary. As “my flower doesn’t have a name yet”, it is expected that artists will seek new possibilities to express their individual thoughts and explore the essence of self, relationship and the world by breaking through the boundaries of traditional materials. If we can catch the fleeting light of thought in such an “uncertainty”, which is really memorable. This precious sensitivity is an “anchor” in our heart to prevent us from being lost in this ever-changing world. When we still have the ability to shoot questions at the world, it proves that we still keep our curiosity and passion alive, possess the power of growing vigorously and have the courage of going forward.

No one can really understand this world. This is the fun and test that this world brings to our short life.

Let’s salute to this undefined, chaotic and fascinating world.
