“Interface” series depicts the webpage interface showcasing Tibetan artifacts from the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s website. The artist meticulously uses ink painting to portray details such as the navigation bar, labels, text descriptions, and images of the artifacts, emphasizing the standardization and homogeneity of the digital world.
