From a distance, this artwork appears as a majestic mountain, but upon closer inspection, one will notice numerous industrial traces skilfully captured through etching. The content of the piece revolves around Yandang Mountain, a renowned mountain in the artist's hometown. It also serves as a representation of her childhood living environment, where her home nestled against the mountain with a river flowing in front. However, the presence of nearby factories creates a striking juxtaposition of industrial and natural elements. The artist believes it is crucial to depict this peculiar amalgamation as it evokes a sense of dissonance and strangeness, highlighting the complex relationship between industry and nature.
