我曾经试图从艺术哲学的角度对图腾的意义加以考察，我发现原始岩画的图腾表象与现当代艺术视知觉图式有着内在的联系性；而图腾所隐喻的文化现象和文化意义在当下的社会、文化、历史与生活中也有着具体而强烈的体现，比如全球各地极度推崇经济发展，却忽视自然环境的和其他生物造成的破坏和伤害，希望让自然服务于人类，这何尝不是在制造一种图腾崇拜。作品中我将世界经济、政治、文化中心的地标形象，与自然界的庞大动物群体并置在同一片天地下，讽刺而幽默地让自然生物对人类文明进行图腾式的崇拜。同时，这也是一个博弈的场所，即边缘话语与中心权力话语的博弈，并刻意为观众创造神秘、虚幻的美感，将图腾的文化意义予以彰显。

I once attempted to explore the meaning of totems through the lens of art philosophy and found a profound connection between the totemic imagery of prehistoric rock art and the visual-perceptual structures of modern and contemporary art. The cultural phenomena and symbolic significance implied by totems are still powerfully present in today’s society, culture, history, and everyday life. For example, the global obsession with economic growth—often at the cost of environmental degradation and harm to other life forms—reveals a belief in nature’s subservience to human needs. Is this not, in its essence, a new form of totemic worship? In my work, I juxtapose iconic landmarks representing the centers of global economy, politics, and culture with monumental animal species from the natural world. In a satirical yet humorous way, I stage scenes in which these creatures seem to engage in totemic worship of human civilization. At the same time, the image becomes a site of tension—a battleground between peripheral voices and dominant power structures. Through this approach, I intentionally create an atmosphere of mystery and surreal beauty, while underscoring the cultural significance of the totem in a contemporary context.
