Raindrops in the mid-air, this is also the most consistent with the shape of the “water drop” in people's mind, but it is only one of the many variations of the image of the raindrops, just as everyone is accustomed to show one personality to others, but explore carefully, in fact, everyone has different characters. Perhaps the Raindrop 1 is appearance that raindrop most often show to people, which is also the start of the story of Raindrop.
The artist asks the raindrop, "What makes the raindrop so unique that it can fall from the upper air without causing any harm to humans?" In order to answer these questions, the artist made a scientific attempt to "dissect" the raindrop and probe the inner world of the raindrop. What's inside the raindrop? Artist learned that the reason why raindrops fall from high altitude without hurting people is that the lightness of raindrops makes the terminal speed of raindrops falling on earth about 2 meters per second, while at the same height, the terminal speed of people falling is about 100 meters per second. From this point of view, the lightness and dispersibility of raindrops make its terminal speed become very low. Raindrops can fly through the air and combine and disperse. In Raindrop 2, the artist uses crystal glass to show the life of raindrops: a raindrop falls from the sky, and in the process of falling, it constantly merges with new raindrops which makes the raindrop bigger and bigger; But the blow of a strong wind, or the touch of a feather on a bird's wing could break and scatter the drop, so that it returns to the one tiny drop, falls into the lake, and in the moment of falling it arouses more tiny drops, and at last the drop merges with the wider water, and develops new life amoung the countless drops. It explains the cycle of life that "every life is the same life". In Raindrop 2, the artist BAISHUI uses the artistic language of "hand roll", a unique painting expression technique in China. This method breaks the boundary of time, describes the story of raindrops encountered at different times on a plane。Here every drop of rain is the same drop, thousands and thousands are the same one, and the same one also representats thousands and thousands of millions.
At the moment when the water drop leaves the cloud, because of the centripetal force, the water tightens inwardly and forms a lovely oval shape without edges.
The water condenses from the clouds, its own weight makes it slowly separate from the clouds, and the gravity is still weak, so the raindrop is short, rounded at the bottom, and has a small pointed tip. At this time, the raindrops have a sense of "save power and get ready", as if the force is condensing, waiting for the strong rebound of life, "storage" for accumulation, storage, waiting for the explosion of energy. The raindrop are "gaining momentum", it has just obtained "freedom" soon, it is ready to pass the mountains and lakes in the sky, at this time it is like a vigorous youth, waiting for all the gifts of fate and the pains of growth, it is looking forward to germination, striking and singing for life! Looking forward to all the surprises that belong to the fate of water.
If Raindrop 2 shows the microscopic raindrop, then Raindrop 5 tells the story of raindrops from a macroscopic perspective. When it started to rain, a few raindrops fell gently on the ground, forming a raindrop, slowly more and more rain, when enough rain fell, they became a line, so there is the poem of "cold wind makes raindrop become lines", the breeze blows enough raindrops, the rain is continuous, the water drops form a thin line of slanting rain. The artist uses glass crystal to simulate the lines of water and the waves of the sea. Continuous waves come from both sides of the water droplets. The lines formed by water droplets are magical, although they are static, they create a kind of spirit. This majestic everything is placed on the slice of a water drop by the artist to show the changing and eternal life of the water.
Rain falls from the sky, it is not always alone or alone, sometimes two water droplets will meet in the air and collide, because of the brief fusion, both water droplets slightly change their shape and embrace each other, becoming a unique shape of the raindrop. Human interaction is also similar to these two water droplets, two tough circles are always difficult to melt, both need to become softer, and even create some gaps to slowly run in and combine, of course, all these need to be put into practice with time, when the water droplets have the experience of life, the precipitation of time, and the weight of memories, they can become soft and receptive. To embrace another water drop and create a beautiful new shape.
The raindrop is about to fall to the surface of the water, and gravity makes the raindrop become extremely thin and sharp, like a needle, like a sharp part of the character of a normally gentle person. Raindrop 7 shows the different personalities of raindrops, just like water is the most soft and also the toughest thing, then the water drop will show the "tough" part: sharp, calm, like a sharp blade stabbed to the sky, issued "Heaven Ask", what is Heaven Ask? Qu Yuan in his "Heaven ask" want to find the truth of the world. He ask "operation rule of sky to earth, the end of survival and destruction, the good and evil", "Heaven ask" is not in the pursuit of an accurate answer, but in the search for a cause and effect, from many of the law to find a philosophical destination, is the ultimate search of life and the resistance to fate, to ask an answer to heaven, I heard that "heaven can not ask"? Then I said "heaven asked" to pursue! In Raindrop 7, the sharp and sharp raindrops pointing to the sky convey such life force, before falling into the water, and then ask the sky, like an unyielding soul.
