Dissolve in the thoughts of home is a mixed-media video installation in vertical format. Video of DongJiang (or the East River of Guangdong, China) is edited in a 16:3 aspect ratio, simultaneously showing the scenes of upper, middle, and lower streams on 3 vertically stacked screens. Interactions between people and the river are revealed, differing across natural and artificial landscapes, but always similarly in the most intimate form.

From a small stream among the distant hills, it flows and pours, turning into the vast river of Dongjiang (东江, the East River of Guangdong, China). Across the town of the faraway home, it flows and pours, carrying pieces of home in its droplets. On the blue planet full of water, it flows and pours, entering the interconnectedness of the closing loop.

He stood in the East River of New York, 12000 kilometers away from the East River of his hometown, but still connected with the water he calls home. Freezing tide washes the shore and mind, in the contemplation of emptiness, he dissolves in the water he is standing in.

As one approaches the final moment of their individual life, they morph into the deepest thoughts and memories, in the lives of people around, in the long river of humanity, they keep flowing. The endless river of all creatures flows in the eternity of time, drowning everyone, embracing everyone.

The drops of memories that accumulated during their lifetime, burst as flooding torrents in a flash, drowning everyone who has shared the same moments. Like a dam collapse and water pours. The memory of their life is no longer complete, but the pieces have turned into deeper thoughts, entering the life of everyone around. Individuals dissolved, but flowing in the larger river of humanity. The endless river of all creatures flows in the eternity of time, pushing everyone, holding everyone.

I am suffocating in this current, but it melts into oxygen. 人作为个体的生命走到终点，却能化作更加深刻的回忆和念想，在身边人的生命里、在全体人类的河流中继续流淌。在无尽的时间中流转的一切生命的长河，淹没着每一个人，拥抱着每一个人。

像是他在有限的生命中一点一滴积攒起的厚重的记忆，在霎那间化作爆发的洪流，将每一个与他共享这些记忆的人淹没。有如大坝决堤，倾泻而下。他一生完整的记忆不复存在，但这些碎片早已化作更加深刻的念想，进入身边的人的生命。个体的流动消散而去，却也在全人类的河流中继续流淌。在无尽的时间中流转的一切生命的长河，裹挟着每一个人，拥抱着每一个人。

我在这流动中窒息，它却化为了氧气。
