UNDERGROUND

I believe everything in the univers is in a big invisible system.
Our movement can effect other parts of the world, just like the butterfly effect.
My projects have a common feature: they are all involved with endless cycle. The cycle of life that is called Samsara in eastern philosophy, within the traditions of Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, Taoism and Yoga, there is the notion of this never ending cycle of birth, life, death and rebirth.
To me, Reincarnation is one part of invisible system.
Reincarnation means when people died they are going to another world and they will be alive in the other form. It reminds me the meaning of sustainable life: trying to use the resource on our planet infinity.
When we saw a dumped product, we consider it a “dead” garbage, and recycling could be considered as a “reborn” of the material, a “reincarnation”.
According to this understanding of Samsara, our life is only one of many that stretches back through the eons. My last life could be an animal, or a plant. To me, plant is definitely can be considered as a kind of animal, when people died, they can reincarnation into a seed, then grown and bloom even fruit. This is like a kind of tranformation.
What will happen if I push the "stop" button when it's turning? The human body became a cold hard stone, and the green plant grows alive.Plants grow quietly, and bring warm and alive atmosphere, could be considered as representation of “life”. I want to see what going to happen if I put “death” and “life” together.
“Alive is dead, dead is alive... ” — Ouyi (Famous Buddhism monk in Ming dynasty)
