In the beginning, I made a serious joke in the way of an elephant.

This time, Yang Hui would rather not mention “Here comes the elephant”. Let’s do a little bit of reverse thinking. How about “Why hasn’t the elephant come?” or “Where is the elephant?” From the new works, I have found several key points: high-heeled shoes, geometry (including the box), indoor scenes, the lying elephant……

I have been thinking about the relationship among those things. Last year, the elephant has gone back…

In the past, the elephant was always in the state of “on the road”. Obviously, the state has changed and everything has changed. When it comes to the high-heeled shoes, the elephant seems to just throw out two questions. One, why are they red? Second, why are high heels? Leaving aside the symbolic metaphor of symbols, the emergence of this object has special significance. No judgment is made here, but it has obviously changed a certain state.

Indoor and express (box) have met all the needs of modern society, which are not only the obedience of elephants to a modern lifestyle but also a reflection on it. The works of an elephant have a strong projection of reality. He does not make any fiction and imagination, but there are more magic and hippies under the cruel reality. Referring to the elephant in the box, he said that the migration of elephants before would be very interesting if they were in the express delivery. This is not only the life philosophy of elephants but also the fun in elephant paintings. If the elephant is not “on the road”, then the elephant must be in the “box”, and also there is a pair of red high heels in the box.

Here, I have made another joke with you. Yet the joke was not set up for fun.
