Artwork description:

Zhuangzi described a fable like this - the emperor of the South Sea is called Su（倏）, the emperor of the North Sea is called Hu（忽）, and the emperor of the center is called Chaos（混沌）. Su and Su often meet in the place of Chaos, and Chaos treats them very earnestly. Su and Hu discussed together how to repay Chaos' heavy kindness, saying, "Everyone has eyes, ears, mouth, and nose, which are used to see, hear, eat, and breathe, but Chaos does not have them. He cut seven orifices." They cut one hole every day, and after seven days, Chaos died.
Animals have their own country. They have thoughts, emotions, expressions, and unique intelligence systems. In many cases, people are actually the same as animals.
This fable deeply moved me. "Chaos" is also a mythical beast recorded in "Shan Hai Jing"（《山海经》）. I am very interested in this beast. So I tried to create such a creature without seven orifices. Chaos has a child in the same state on his head. They are integrated into a whole, as if searching for their own answer. I call this state of seeking the way（寻道）.
