“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. One is left to reflect on the regulation and control behind cultural exchanges.

In this work, the artist arranges images of Buddha statues sourced from online searches to create a contemporary “Thousand Buddhas” composition. In traditional Thangka paintings, the structure of the Thousand Buddhas represents cosmic order and spiritual coherence, while the results of Buddha images from a search engine are random and fragmented, serving as material for organizing information. Through ink painting, the artist transforms the originally functional interface into one that transmits solemnity and grandeur. In this way, the “Thousand Buddhas” of big data also embody a sense of spirituality and meditation.
