I believe that there exists some kind of “mother tongue" among the living organism that nurtured by the Earth - A form of natural perceptible communication that possesses a power transcending words. It conveys something far more profound, and its context carries a reassuring mood. "Gaze" serves as such a mother tongue. In extralinguistic communication, we gradually return as part of the environment through the gaze that transcends individual species. Thus, the touching and entwined coexistence among lives and between life and their environment has gradually been clarified.
我相信被地球孕育出的生命物质之间相互存在着一些“母语” ——一种天然可知觉到的沟通，有着超越言语的力量。它传递着更为深远的事物，它的语境有着令我安心的情态。「凝视」便是这样一种母语。在言语之外的交流中，我们从跨越物种个体的凝望间渐渐归属于环境。于是生命之间、生命和环境之间动人而缠绵的相处状态慢慢变得明晰。
Film Excerpt
第一章节从绵长缓慢的对视，一点点近到它的身旁，它的生活——深入绒羽的间隙和追逐的步伐。虽然我们作为观看的目光从未消失，却也越发被温存的环境包围。
从久远的传说到现实的风景，使凝视由此刻的动作渐渐延长。我从上世纪80年代到世纪之交的东方和西方动画中，提取出这些跨越物种的相处片段。它们的取材从神话到民间：在文明演进中总是慷慨相助于我们却往往被忽视，只因它默默不语的部分。守护神、森林、土地、野马……交与万物的真心。
由手舞图像生成的终章，带来彗星般的样貌，正如更为恒久的环境与在一世更替中相对短暂的生物，在时间中，越发紧密地交织，直至永恒的显现。心随着光芒漫溯。
