公共艺术作品《社区幻想／201501300214》，以POPPER集装箱的组合体作为创作对象，在城市市中心登陆，呼应作品中城市化抽象的图案元素，并以”箱体“的语言介入到三维空间的视觉绘画形式中，创造了城市中某一个乌托邦社区的美好幻象。构成一种人类个体与群体，空间与社区的“城市幻境”大型公共艺术作品。
该作品是对于家具雕塑“贫民窟的箱子”的再一次思考与衍生。作品灵感来源于“贫民窟”建筑群，从贫民窟建筑的解码到家具的设计，又重新编译营造新的集装箱社区模块。

The public art work “Community fantasy / 201501300214”, a creation on the combined POPPER containers, debuts in the center of the city. The abstract elements in the art work that derive from the city are reproduced in these containers as a visual language of painting in three-dimensional space. It creates a beautiful illusion of a utopian community, where individuals and groups, space and community can co-exist.

The art work indicates the reflection and extension of the furniture sculpture “slum dwellers boxes “. After decoding the elements in slum houses and successfully integrated into the furniture design, the artist now applies it on a larger container community.

我对“贫民窟”的一部分理解是：丰富而又充足的，变化多端的，且富有生命力的；智慧而又神秘的，可自由伸展的，且个体与群体共存的。这是多么令人兴奋的状态，很享受它所带来的“琢磨不透”。“贫民窟的箱子”作品的诞生从丰富的不规则“建筑”语言出发，思考这些“单独的建筑”与“社区营造”同时存在，并相互牵连，持续并进却互不受影响。作品色彩与形式的思考来自于人类城市社区的缩影，以一种高度抽象的符号化语言，强烈的色彩碰撞在箱体之间。

For me, the slum is full of vitality: colorful but varied, wise but mysterious, extensive but inclusive with the coexistence of individuals and groups. I was so impressed and excited because it is complex and unpredictable. Inspired by the irregular “architectures” with rich elements, the furniture work “Slum Dwellers Boxes” aims to explore the possible coexistence of “individual houses” and “community” in the same space, where they are connected and synergized but also remain unaffected and independent. Through the strong clash of colors among the boxes, I express my understanding of the color and form that comes from the urban community in a highly abstract and symbolic way.
