Choice Of Life
2022，40cm x 57cm, Physarum polycephalum (Slime Mold), oate, water, agar plate.

Inspiration:

When we choose to reconcile with ourselves, we can believe in every choice we make. Human beings are faced with choices every day, and every choice results to a different ending. That is why people want to invent time machines, to go back in time to change the past and achieve a “better” future. The movie “Everything Everywhere All at Once”, shows that every choice of the protagonist will lead to a different ending; that ending may not always be our best

Thoughts:

Perhaps we have already chosen our irreversible life at a fork in the road. Physarum polycephalum (Slime Mold) can think independently and connect between the beginning and the fruits of victory. Every connection indicates a different life; Every path serves as a different choice; Every choice leads to a different ending caused by people, families, countries, and  the world. As the movie Wandering Earth said: “No matter where the final outcome of human history leads, we decide, choose hope!”
