Shang Hui, Director of the Theory and Curation Committee of the China Artists Association and doctoral supervisor, said, "The exhibition combines topology with the environment of Zishan Lake. 'Circulation' refers to ecological circulation, and 'living' includes breathing of life, and is also related to the era of digital intelligence. The exhibition breaks through traditional painting and uses installations to bring a full sensory experience. The works respond to the current state of existence and blend with Ziyouji, making it a 'down-to-earth' intellectual exhibition

Curator Ren Shanshan said, "The team has always wanted to gather artists with unique creative languages. Although the 12 exhibitors have different ways of expression, they all convey their insights into life and the circular world through their works, implying a concern for life. Previously, the team had been searching for an art space that could connect this concept, and the" recyclable "characteristic of Ziyouji perfectly fits the core of the exhibition, accurately conveying the deep information of" circulation and life "

Artist Yin Jiulong candidly stated, "As an artist, he often thinks about 'what art is'. The brushstrokes and objects in the works of artists around him will allow him to project life insights, and even create a sense of breathing and dialogue with the surrounding things. This experience will also be integrated into future creations. Its creative concept is in line with the core concept of the exhibition, which is "cyclical and endless".

The core of the "lucid dream" dance lies in the dancer's balance between "controllable consciousness" and "subconscious flow", just like the new generation of artists' creative logic of dissolving dualism through individual experience. 'Awakening' is reflected in the control of every action, while 'dreams' are hidden in the metaphor of bodily symbols - such as the silent transition between reality and dreams between tiptoeing and landing, ultimately allowing the audience to touch the rhythm of life where consciousness and subconsciousness coexist through the resonance of action and breathing.

As one of the 105th anniversary events of Hubei Institute of Fine Arts, this exhibition covers multiple art fields such as installation, painting, imaging, and comprehensive materials. Its works not only showcase individual creative characteristics, but also jointly echo the theme of the times of "circulation and vitality". Twelve artists connect nature, life, tradition, and contemporary through artistic language, echoing the concept of interconnectivity of all things contained in the "Butterfly Effect", bringing the audience an artistic feast that combines depth of thought and visual impact.
