The artist reconstructs the world she perceives by arranging different combinations of objects and symbols in the painting.Li Bai said, “Heaven and Earth are a guest house of the myriad things; time has been a passing traveller of a hundred generations. And floating life is like a dream; how often do we find true happiness?” The floating life is like a dream. What people fondly remembered and greatly missed will eventually be back in any way. Life and affection, which represented by the apes, the dog, and the frog, will keep flowing in the river of history and time.
