Here‘s to Your Health 祝您健康

Series of paper cutting, 2019

疼痛无序

心脏只有十分之七

生命能够承受的重量人们无法估量

The pain is incalculable

The heart is only seven-tenths the size

The weight of life is immeasurable

我中学时代曾经得过肺炎，也被短暂隔离过，所幸很快治愈出院。不过在那之后，身体的免疫力大幅度下降，常常会有小病小痛伴随。

当疼痛出现，我们才真切地感觉到每一个器官的存在。

在那期间，我持续在以纸雕的形式创作，需要用刀对纸进行切割雕刻，去掉一部分留下一部分，是一个取舍的过程。

我决定用这样的方式在纸上进行“解剖”。

更巧合的是，在这个过程里，我发现手术刀和手术剪刀这类医疗器械可以代替美工刀去雕刻，更锋利更好用。这个发现为我希望在纸上做“解剖”这个想法增加了力量和冲动。

《祝您健康》系列，就是来源于这个“解剖计划”，我用手术刀和极其伪科学的态度去镂空了这些器官，也在这样一个埋头工作的过程里“治愈”了疼痛的自己。

I had pneumonia in high school and was briefly quarantined. Fortunately, I was released from the hospital. But after that, the body's immunity dropped dramatically, that minor illnesses and pains often accompany.

When the pain is present, we feel the presence of each organ.

During that time, I continued to create in the form of paper art. I needed to cut and sculpt paper with a knife. It was a process of choosing between removing part of paper and the leaving part.

I decided to dissect the paper in this way.

More coincidentally, during this process, I found that medical instruments such as scalpels and surgical scissors can be used instead of cutters to carve, which are sharper and more usable. This discovery added strength and impulse to my desire to do "dissection" on paper.

The Here’s to Your Health series is derived from this "anatomical plan". I used scalpel and extremely pseudoscientific attitude to hollow out these organs, and also "cured" myself of pain in such a process of hard work.
