Power-Narratives SeriesSelf-Portrait2024 This work involves the exchange between images and symbols, as well as the projection of consciousness among subjects. The images in the work originate from the map shapes of the territorial dispute areas on the Sino-Russian northern border. These map shapes have been transformed into images in the manner of Rorschach inkblots, serving as a test of subjective consciousness and mental states. Consequently, concepts such as "a part since ancient times" and "a sacred and indivisible territory" in national consciousness since modernity are transformed into projections of self-consciousness by the discourse subject, ultimately materializing into real territorial boundaries.
