Artist Brenton Wang offers the following insights to this exhibition:

"During the creation of this series, the unique and humorous art of Mattias Adolfsson has constantly lingered in my mind, providing immense inspiration. Initially, I tried to express my thoughts through sculpting fantastical scenes and creating mining robots, but eventually, I opted for an expression style that blends cuteness with a doodle aesthetic. In the process of trying to express texture on a flat surface, I encountered numerous challenges, and ultimately chose to use materials such as cardboard and sand to create a rough texture. I also experimented with using stained wooden boards to enhance the vintage feel of the artworks, and employed bright primary colors to pay homage to the sci-fi works of the 1950s, while deliberately softening the colors to convey the traces of time and a nostalgic feeling towards the past.

Overall, I hope these artworks serve as a touching experience for the soul. They not only showcase a world full of fantasy but also express reflections on modern life and praise for the spirit of exploration. I hope that everyone who views these works can, while appreciating them, rediscover the wildness and desire for the unknown world that has been long neglected deep within their hearts."
