Reporters learned that Shijie Hai’s “Territory” series is derived from a graphic novel titled “Territory,” set in London, which explores the sense of belonging individuals feel towards their environment and interpersonal relationships. Through delicate emotional expressions in visual art, Shijie Hai portrays the complexity and vulnerability of human emotions. The works in the exhibition delve into the connections between individuals and the city, intimate relationships, and how these relationships may fracture over time and under changing circumstances, showcasing the potential disintegration of seemingly stable relationships in daily life.
