From studying landscapes to stones, local artist Bowie Lee discovered that everyone has their own world in their hearts, and began to use the ideology of landscapes to present the inner worlds of different people through her art works. Collecting stones and stories, she explore our relationship with space and our existence through geological research of this city. During this process, she learned not to be attached, but to follow the cycle of our life, the world, and nature.
That’s a tough life lesson – how do you let go of someone or something you love?
She discovered that the people we love never leave us. Because they, like us, coexist with the vast cycle of heaven and earth. Whether you have to be sad or not, you have to let it go; whether you have resentment or not, you have to let it go. Letting go is not forgetting, but acknowledging everything it has affected you, and moving on in the cyclical rhythm of the universe.
Bowie hopes that this exhibition will allow visitors to let go of the people and things you want to let go in this art space at the end of 2022, and also experience the stories that others have let go through artworks. Everyone can bring a stone or a small object to represent what they can’t let go during the exhibition, and leave it in Cabinet of Stories, which will become one of the stories in the exhibition. If you can, we’d love you to share the story behind the stone or small object with Bowie, and in return, she’ll turn your story into a one-of-a-kind circular piece of art.
