"DO NOT START FROM HERE "focuses on the contradictory relationship between terrestrial migratory animals and artificial obstacles.
This work explores cutting-edge methods of sustainable design. It replies to the theme of "Innovative Sustainability: Redefining Green Design" with a digital fiction moving image.Â
Â
A digitally constructed circular monument was created by extracting and abstracting the footprints of terrestrial mammals and modelling them. The final video was produced to poetically stimulate the audience's awareness and contemplation of animal conservation. This approach not only showcases a unique perspective in contemporary art but also serves as a critique of human intervention in the natural world. The circular monument symbolises the natural cycle of animal migration, while the man-made barriers prompt viewers to reflect deeply on the importance of environmental conservation.Â

The poetic representation of the virtual monument urges the audience to consider how sustainability can be integrated into daily life and design practices. This work is not just an art piece; it is a call to action for environmental protection, inspiring viewers to engage in and support efforts to preserve nature.
