  • "Do Something, Do Nothing, Do ..." is a critical artwork that examines themes of control, superficiality, and the illusion of choice in education. The central figure is a teacher with a CCTV camera as their head, symbolizing the pervasive surveillance and authoritarian oversight in educational systems. Surrounding the teacher are children with empty heads but beaming, forced smiles, representing a façade of happiness and compliance. Next to the CCTV head is the sentence, "I can't do anything with...," highlighting the disconnection and helplessness felt within a system that emphasizes control over genuine engagement. The artwork critiques the superficial nature of enforced contentment and the often oppressive dynamics between authority figures and students. Through its stark imagery and evocative text, "Do Something, Do Nothing, Do ..." invites viewers to reflect on the nature of control and the cost of conformity in educational environments.

  • Surrounding the panda is a scene that conveys a haunting silence. The phrase “Be Quiet” is subtly inscribed, alluding to the oppressive silence enforced in Xinjiang's internment camps and the harsh realities faced by individuals in residential schools. This oppressive quietude is accentuated by the menacing presence of a bloodied school table, a stark symbol of torture and suffering endured by those subjected to these regimes. In the background, a somber portrait of Mao Zedong looms large, representing Communist China’s historical context and its impact on the country’s socio-political landscape. Mao's photo, rendered with a sense of foreboding, adds a layer of historical weight and critique to the artwork.
