“At the heart of ‘Bao Rong is also me, two!✌️’ lies the colossal ‘The Hole’, a PVC pop extravaganza, which dares audiences to crawl inside its soft, unyielding exterior. At its entrance, a sunflower-like ruffle bursts open, its tendrils reaching towards the Hong Kong jungle. When the sculpture is dormant– that is when the artist is not inside of it, performing– a pair of helpless, eerily mindless prosthetic limbs dangle from its exit, swaying to a hypnotic rhythm”

– Di Liu

本次展览中体量最大的作品是巨型的生物形态PVC雕塑 《洞The Hole》(2025)，它不仅是一件雕塑，更是一个表演空间。想象自己爬进它柔软的身体，顺着蜿蜒的曲线滑行，并从另一侧出来——仿佛完成了一次蜕变。当它闲置时，一条孤独无助、却又怪异得近乎无意识的假肢悬挂在入口处，随着气流缓缓摆动，形成一种催眠般又带点悲剧色彩的节奏。在它的正面，一个向日葵般的褶皱猛然绽放，触须般的结构向四周伸展，仿佛在渴求着什么，又似乎始终无法触及。它是一场挣扎，一场诱惑，一场天真与未知危险之间的舞蹈。
