7. The Story of the OctopusVideo Installation
2018

The development of humanity has been accompanied by the unreasonable exploitation of the ocean, leading to severe marine pollution. By combining the beautiful ocean and the polluted ocean in the video projection, aiming to awaken people's awareness of marine conservation and the desire to return a clean ocean world to marine life.

The octopus model is composed of geometric facets, with its angular facets representing the symbols of industrial development, contrasting with the octopus's soft, curving body. Curved black lines are used as a background to simulate the undulating waves within the ocean, thereby creating a representation of the underwater world. The octopus serves as a representative of marine life in this oceanic world, using the octopus as a medium to tell its story.
