About

Anqi Lin, a Chinese artist, currently lives in London. She explores time, boundaries and survival in a variety of ways. These seemingly universal concepts inspire people to think about the meaning of life and the subjective and objective workings of time.

This project stems from the death of her grandparents. They passed away in the same year. she began to explore the connection between nature and life. One quote influenced the outcome of the first phase of this project – “We finally become a soul, floating in the air, feeling the passing wind and rain. Feeling all the beauty that nature has to offer. All the warmth that was stranded in life coalesces into a fire in the world after death, and a heavy body is not as good as a smooth soul.”

Death may not be the disappearance of life. It is simply crossing out of time. It becomes the most primitive molecular and atomic component of the universe and then slowly rebuilds itself into the other things around you. Time twists, melts, and shatters in people’s subjective consciousness. Since time and space are an inseparable pair of terms, time is no longer an abstract concept. It is a vibrating, swaying and distorting substance. Thus, the departed person simply passes from the world of reality as we perceive it into another world of time and space of which we are unaware. The concept of death may be a secular idea of the end of life. But in fact, it is the best interpretation of eternal life.
