CHINA Coincidence Conceptual Conceptual Art Contemporary Contemporary Art Narration / Storytelling photography Poetic poetry Storytelling 中国艺术家

In 2018 I picked up a letter by the sea in Nice, France. My grandfather left me a few months later, making me think of the letter, which seemed like a prophecy. Afterwards, the letter kept me preoccupied. Four years later, I returned to the seaside of Nice again. I met another letter. Not long did it take for me to receive the obituary of one other relative of mine. Curiosity turning into fear, all appeared too coincidental to be a coincidence.
