Linglong but not Linglong; it has the essence of delicacy, yet lacks the delicate form. This work is an extension of CHEN Darui's X Series in 2018, magnifying the most crucial metal component of the X Series by 12.5 times, crafted using transparent resin casting techniques. The X Series is born from concepts, combining digitization, industrialization, and localization. It represents a fresh exploration of potential contemporary art creation methods in the future. The X Series is characterized by connections, continuously intertwining with the subjective perceptions of the author at different periods, giving rise to endless forms of expression.
