Title of Work: The Place Where Rivers Meet
Statement: My hometown is located at the confluence of two rivers. The rivers are so tranquil as tamed by the city, but water mist splashed when they meet. The mist confuses me, blurring the boundaries between memory and reality. They collide fiercely as I attempt to search my memories about the past and try to accept this ever-progressing city. Recognizable are the rivers, yet blurred is the memory.
郑一川《河流交汇的地方》
两条河流交汇的地方,是我的家乡。河流被这座城市驯服的平淡不惊,却会在交汇的地方激起水花,水雾朦胧。这让我分不清回忆与现实间的距离,它们猛烈的撞击在一起,我开始尝试找寻我过去的记忆,也在尝试接受变化的家乡。数的清的是河流,分不清的是回忆。
