当我探访滇池湿地公园时，发现了许多蜻蜓。听说在云南可以找到500多种蜻蜓，占在中国的一半以上种类，其中还有很多特别和珍稀的品种。在我的家乡，我们认为蜻蜓可以带来好运。在公园的池塘上，这是我使用再生材料等制作的求婚蜻蜓（蜻蜓在交尾时，它们会形成一个心形结构），希望有爱的人们在美好的环境中过得幸福。
When I visited the Dianchi Wetland Park, I found many dragonflies. I was told that more than 500 dragonflies can be found in Yunnan, accounting for more than half of the species in China, among which there are many special and rare species. In my hometown, we believe that dragonflies can bring good luck. In the pond in the park, this is a proposal dragonfly I made using recycled materials (when dragonflies mate, they form a heart-shaped structure), hoping that people in love can live a happy life in a beautiful environment.

“艺术是关于生活的。艺术是关于我们如何看待、感知和意识到周围的事物。对我来说，一切都是艺术。建筑、电视、自行车、沙堡、涂鸦、海报、写作，甚至简单的垃圾都可以是艺术。当你把一切都看作艺术时，你最终会明白为什么使用特定的材料——它的意义、功能和目的。我们可以慢慢地将意义归因于我们周围的事物，将它们的关系归因于我们的日常生活、个人关系和社会背景。”
Jeremy Hiah (b.1972 in Singapore, where he still resides) is an interdisciplinary artist and curator whose work questions the social systems within which we live, using satire and an ironic sense of humor.

His works have been performed and exhibited internationally in Germany, Italy, and Austria for UNESCO Artists in Residence in Vienna, at the Hong Kong Art Center, Vietnam Contemporary Art Center, Indonesia, Australia, Thailand, South Korea, and Denmark.

"Art is about life. Art is about how we see, perceive and are aware of the things around us. To me, everything is art. Buildings, televisions, bicycles, sand castles, graffiti, posters, writing, and even simple junk can be art. When you see everything as art, you will eventually understand why a particular material is used – its meaning, function, and purpose. We can slowly attribute meaning to things around us and their relationship to our daily lives, personal relationships, and social backgrounds."
