To Eat A Dragonfly

Literature · Chinese Poetry
《悯农》 · 《渡荆门送别》

Created for Tilling Roots & Seeds and Quo Artis, this project imagines a future of rising seas in which humans eat dragonflies and gradually take on their forms. Organs, bones, plants and insects merge, turning Everyone should be a farmer into we are what we grow. Classical Chinese poems about farming and dreams run along the folded pages, bringing ancient agricultural imagery into an unfamiliar post-human world. Poetry connects these fragments through metaphor and association, letting science fiction unfold between absurdity and dream.
