Five Animals In One Body / 一身五兽(Yi Shen Wu Shou)

Five Animals In One Body is a five-screen, five-channel immersive audiovisual installation that explores the tensions and vulnerabilities of human experience through animal metaphors. Each animal represents a distinct psychological condition: a racehorse fixated on what lies ahead reflects competitive pressure; a peacock unable to display its feathers evokes appearance anxiety; a hedgehog shielding itself with spines suggests emotional guardedness in intimacy; a chameleon constantly shifting color speaks to a loss of agency in social interaction; and an eagle flying too high to see the ground embodies uncertainty toward the future. Through AI-generated imagery and layered visual compositions, the work transforms personal reflection into a sensory experience. Rather than requiring narrative understanding, it invites viewers to engage intuitively, encountering their own unarticulated emotions within the immersive field of image and sound.
