The sign

The inspiration for this project came from the wall that I started to carve all over my house when I was a child before I could talk.
In China before, some Chinese people had a “bad manners” of carving "Here to visit" (到此一游)on the walls and stones of tourist places. But I think such a “bad manners” is more like a desire for expression or performance. It is an attempt to prove that "I existed here. or "I existed here." , "I am this way." "I think this way." It's like the murals of ancient civilizations or the ancient Chinese inscriptions. It's about recording and expressing. It seems to me to be the most primitive impulse of expression.
Like the "Here to visit", it is indeed uncivilized in the perspective of modern society. But then I started to reflect on the fact that in my capacity as an expresser, sometimes I do feel a sense of shame about what I have expressed, what I have expressed or how I have expressed it. Or even give up the desire to express, or want to erase the expressions that have been made.
That may be because of "uncivilized", "shame" reasons or because of the desire to give up the expression, I will finally sandpaper the content of the square until it disappears.

这件项目的灵感来源于我小时候还不会说话时就开始在家里刻画满了的那面墙。
在之前的中国,一部分中国人有在旅游地的墙上、石头上刻上“到此一游”的恶癖。但我认为这样的恶癖更像是一种表达欲或者说表现欲。在试图证明“我存在于这里。”或者“我在这里存在过。”、“我是这样的。”“我如此去思考。”就像远古文明的壁画或者中国古代的碑文那样。它是关于记录和表达的事情。在我看来这是种最原始的表达冲动。
像“到此一游”,它在现代社会的视角下的确是不文明的。但由此又让我开始反思,在作为一个表达者的身份时,有时的确会对于曾经的表达,表达的事情或者表达的方式产生一种羞耻感。甚至放弃表达的欲望,或者想要清除曾经所做出过的表达。
那可能是由于“不文明”的原因,“羞耻”的原因或者因为放弃表达的欲望,我会在最后用砂纸将方体上的内容打磨至消失。
