Lingering

Lingering is both a reflection on the artist’s time in Glasgow and a brief farewell. The work places fragments of Shenzhen and Glasgow beside one another, looking for difficult-to-name similarities across buildings, waterways, weather, and everyday routes, while considering how movement between cities and nations gradually changes the person who travels through them.

《徘徊》既是艺术家在格拉斯哥学习生活的阶段性总结，也是一次简短的告别。作品把深圳与格拉斯哥的城市片段并置，在建筑、水道、天气和日常路径之间寻找难以言说的相似性，并观察人在往返于城市与国家时如何被沿途环境改变。

Water functions as both symbol and connective structure in the work. The sea links the Eastern and Western Hemispheres; freshwater enters the body; rivers and bridges form part of the city’s transport network. Against these continuing flows, old houses, street corners, and reference points from memory repeatedly disappear. Lingering therefore treats departure as a recurring condition: a person flows from one city to another while leaving, losing, and rewriting relationships with place.

作品以水作为重要的象征与连接结构。海水连接东西半球，淡水进入身体，河流与桥梁又构成城市的交通网络。与这些持续流动的结构相对，旧房屋、街角和记忆中的参照物不断消失。《徘徊》由此将离开理解为一种反复发生的状态：人从一座城市流向另一座城市，同时留下、失去并重新书写与地点之间的关系。
