以植绒的方式将尼龙草覆于瓷制容器的表面。瓷的永恒仿佛是暂停的生命，蔓延生长的草木是外部时间的改变，也是生命另一种形式的延续。从翠绿到枯黄，四季轮回，周而复始，孳生不绝，繁衍不已，生生不息。大自然的规律不以人的意志为转移。
In this work, I flock nylon grass onto the surface of porcelain vessels. To me, porcelain—with its permanence and fragility-symbolizes a life suspended in time, while the growing grass represents traces of time unfolding on its surface, a continuation of life in another form. From lush green to faded yellow, the artificial grass follows the rhythm of the seasons-cyclical, unceasing, with growth and decay coexisting in an endless loop.
"Circle of Life" reflects my deep awareness of nature's laws—indifferent to human will, yet profoundly shaping our existence. The work seeks to respond to this order of life that transcends individual temporality and invites reflection on the relationship between time, material, and the persistence of life.
