Talk about the creative process of this work聊聊这件作品的创作过程
An accidental trip to a safari park brought me back to focus on these creatures in real life. One of the most impressive is an African rhino, which lay motionless on the ground not far from me, and its sturdy and unique shape deeply attracted my attention. The birth of this animal sculpture went through a slow, iterative process of revision and adjustment. During this period, my ideas and means of expression were constantly changing, and the sculptural language began to turn to traditional linear shapes, trying to pursue an oriental style of freehand interest. When it was finally implemented into a figurative rhino image, he was very different from what I saw and wanted to do at first. Perhaps this kind of experimentation and uncertainty is the greatest joy for a budding creator.The state of mind at that time caused me to separate the animal image in my hand from real life. I tried to talk to him with admiration, and imagined him as a lonely hero who took a temporary break.
一次偶然的野生动物园之行，让我把目光拉回了现实中的这些生命之上。 其中印象最深的就是一头非洲犀牛，它趴在离我不远处的地上一动不动，那敦 实而别致的形体深深吸引了我的注意力。这件独立形象的动物雕塑经历了一个缓慢、反复修改和调整的过程。这期间我的想法和表现手段也在不断地发生改变，雕塑语言开始转向传统的线性造型，试图追求一种东方式的写意趣味。最终落实到具象的犀牛形象上时，他已经和我当初看到的、想做的样子有天壤之别了。也许这种尝试与不确定就是对一个初出茅庐的创作者来说就是最大的乐趣了。彼时的心境让我把手中的动物形象剥离了现实生活，我尝试带着敬仰的心态去与他对话，把他想象成一位暂时休憩的孤傲英雄。
