“Surreal Soul Retrospective” is an art project that explores the mysterious connection between the body and the soul. It is inspired by the surreal experiences of childhood, when the soul seems to have wandered out of the physical realm and into a space filled with starlight and darkness. Through a variety of artistic expressions, the project captures the world as seen by the soul on its journey and its return to the body, aiming to show the deep bond and emotional connection between the soul and the body. This exploration embodies the uniqueness and vitality of the world of the soul.
