Where Spirit Begins
灵性之始


This project is a multi-channel digital film. Centered on Eastern civilization and symbols of the supernatural, it explores how nature has shaped human spiritual civilization, deepening the symbiotic awareness and spiritual connection between humans and nature.


Nature is not only a physical environment, but also a source of culture, belief, and spirit. Early humans developed emotion, imagination, and language through interaction with natural beings. In ancient Chinese philosophy, humans and nature are seen as sharing a common origin and interdependence. The imagination and interpretation of nature are the origins of Chinese culture. Rituals served as a medium to communicate with natural forces through non-verbal expression—movement, dance, and chant.

Drawing on Eastern symbols, mythical totems, fractal visual language, and symmetrical composition, the project constructs a space that transcends time and civilization. Rooted in the Eastern philosophy that all things possess spirit, it conveys a cosmic order shaped by supernatural forces. It reflects on how civilization emerged from nature, invites reflection on the spiritual rupture between humanity and the natural world, and offers a sensory and emotional entry point for reconstructing that connection.
