龙，身披五彩鳞甲。
能兴云作雨，可因介藏形。
从未被阐明过长度的这一神兽作为无限的象征，
借由想象力这一载体，
贯穿古今叙事，
承袭自由气度。
龙光溢彩，瑞气腾飞。
缤纷色彩与光线交相跃于团团纹样，
圈圈圆圆、鳞鳞生息，
层叠循环间回响无限之问。
The dragon, draped in iridescent scales,
conjures rain, vanishes at will.
This unmeasured creature symbolizes infinity,
a vessel of imagination threading timeless narratives,
embodying unbound grace.
A glow suffused with brilliance, auspicious light ascends.
Colors and light dance across swirling patterns,
circles within circles, scales alive with rhythm,
resonating the eternal question in layered echoes.
这是粉丸在2024中国龙年交出的又一张答卷。与此前公布的联名项目不同，全新作品以长达11米的空间装置形式展出于佛山岭南天地龙塘诗社内 ——这里亦曾展出过粉丸的作品《凤凰》与《行羽》。
中国龙的英文“Loong“也与中文“龙”读音相似。而作品名Loooooooooong内则有10个o，整体字形与作品形态呼应：龙身由五组不同图案、相对配色的剪纸团纹构成，循环不断。
This is yet another remarkable creation by Chen in the Year of the Dragon, 2024! Unlike her previously unveiled collaborations, this brand-new work takes the form of an 11-meter-long spatial installation, showcased at the Longtang Poetry Society in XINTIANDI, Foshan — a venue that has also hosted her works Phoenix and Fly.
The English word "Loong," phonetically similar to the Chinese word for dragon (龙), inspires the title Loooooooooong. The name features ten "o"s, visually echoing the form of the work itself: a dragon's body composed of five sets of circular paper-cut patterns, each distinct in design and contrasting in color, weaving endlessly in a continuous loop.
由于龙塘诗社内从左至右的狭长参观动线，观众将在正视视角上以超近距离观察到作品的各处细节。
Due to the narrow, linear viewing path from left to right within the Longtang Poetry Club, visitors will have the opportunity to observe every detail of the work up close from a direct perspective.

其中，龙首仍脱胎于《不息》，在新春之际融入更多高饱和度色彩、与团纹呼应的圆。而粉丸通过层层叠叠的分散组件吊挂，以及具有浮雕感的剪纸技艺处理，令作品栩栩如生。
龙身的团纹图案中也藏有繁复的剪纸细节，快乐人仔、植物与锦鲤，被裁剪在对称的句子中，镂空祝愿、前后相称。与原作《不息》的无限节点的组合结构相似，龙身通过无数的圆形团纹达成没有终点的环。
The dragon's head still draws inspiration from Infinite, now infused with more vibrant, high-saturation colors and circular motifs that echo the patterns of the piece, aligning with the festive spirit of the Lunar New Year. Through the layered suspension of dispersed components and paper-cutting techniques that create a relief-like effect, the work comes to life with striking vitality.
The dragon's body is adorned with an intricate tapestry of paper-cutting details, where joyful figures, verdant plants, and vibrant koi are delicately cut and arranged in symmetrical compositions. Hollowed-out wishes echo harmoniously, creating a balanced visual narrative. Reminiscent of the original work Infinite and its endless nodal structure, the dragon's form crafts an unbroken circular pattern through a multitude of interconnected circular motifs, suggesting perpetual motion and continuity.
