Inspired by “relation” and “being,” Gao and Liu invite viewers to reflect on existence’s mysteries— from interpersonal dynamics and memories to the ancient philosophical pursuit of tracing the universe's origins. Their works explore the deep connections shaping our reality, questioning the origins of being across time and space.

​

Relations and Being examines how relationships influence identity and existence, encouraging reflection on the fluidity of bonds and their profound impact on our lives. Each piece serves as a window into the complex interplay of emotions, experiences, and consciousness, urging audiences to engage with the interconnectedness that binds all life.

​

Through diverse mediums, the artists challenge us to reflect on relationships— with ourselves, others, and the world— revealing how these interactions shape our understanding of existence. This exhibition is a unique convergence of philosophy, art, and introspection, offering a thoughtful exploration of the universal questions of being.
