Mrs. Zhao’s Hat
In the rural landscape of Zhejiang, a simple bamboo hat becomes the centerpiece of this work. Casually placed on the grass, its slightly curled edges and faded bamboo strips bear the marks of time and daily use. This is an ordinary object, presented in its natural state, without the need for excessive explanation.
This piece begins with a single concept, exploring the pure connection between form and meaning through extension and refinement. Inspired by the artist’s chance encounter with the bamboo hat and a discussion about "preserving the integrity of original creative ideas," Mrs. Zhao’s Hat intentionally avoids complex narratives or functional reinterpretations. Instead, it focuses on the object itself, evoking perception through its form and presence.
By employing the most fundamental visual and textual elements, the work emphasizes discovering possibilities within simplicity. It is an experiment that removes an everyday object from its context, offering it a new way of being observed and appreciated.
