in my personal project "Data with Spirit Blessing Assembly", I showed my first work made with a game engine, called webshaman run: some stones engraved with computer application symbols become the original relics in this world by scanning. The digital avatar also completed with the help of scanning technology becomes an open body, which can be controlled by the player as a medium, allowing the player to wander in the virtual scenic spot. The running during the game acts as a driving force, which stimulates the passive reaction of the body , finally completing what looks like a ritual.

Permafrost, 2025
Soil, tree roots, metal framework, stainless steel bird spikes, grating, tin, resin, soil stabiliser
70 × 36 × 10 cm
The work focuses on permafrost structures in plateau landscapes, seen as both vibrant and fragile, while carrying rich layers of legend and imagination. It presents a floating, blurred geological slice: soil and tree roots are solidified with a soil binder on a metal frame, forming a 360-degree exposed, suspended structure. On both sides of the solid�ified block, “eye-like” grating panels are installed, overlaid with metal neural-network patterns derived from the cur�rent landform, creating a microcosm where nature and ar�tificial structures intertwine.

E-scape Land Slices
2025
Soil, tree roots, tin, lenticular sticker, metal
E-scape Land Slices is the first large-scale work in the Land Slice series. Using a wooden panel as its base, the artist responds to the board’s natural grain by painting a camouflage-like underlying structure, then filling and covering it with sand and soil. The form emerges gradually through repeated actions and material negotiation, rather than from a fully predetermined design.
Solder is drawn radially from the center of the composition, forming an outward-expanding structure that suggests a circulation of light. From this core extend small organic forms that hover between microbial organisms and circuit nodes. These dispersive lines overlap with the camouflage pattern, allowing the image to unfold continuously between construction and generation. In the artist’s earliest sketch, a brief note accompanied this form: “the circulation of light.” Camouflage originates as a survival strategy in nature, yet upon entering military and fashion contexts it becomes a highly abstracted artificial visual system.
Through the use of soil, tree roots, and metal—materials that traverse the natural and the industrial—the artist re-simulates this process of “the artificial imitating nature,” constructing a visual field suspended between the organic and the fabricated, where both remain entangled.

postpost NEW ARRIVAL：MELTINZZINO EVO CAP @meltinzzino.evo is an experimental, modular headwear project based on 3D printing. Its design language seeks a balance between futurism and understated elegance, approaching the hat as an external shell system rather than a purely decorative accessory. Beginning from a structural perspective, the project employs bio-inspired forms and draws from the architectural logic and structural ventilation found in handwoven straw hats, allowing the cap to maintain a stable form while naturally conforming to and refining the shape of the head.
EVO CAP uses flexible TPU as its primary material. While providing long-lasting structural support, the material enables a controlled transition between rigidity and suppleness, ensuring the hat consistently retains a clean, precise, and stable silhouette.
thank you @untalasalsa and @meltingwang for wearing
caps are available at postpost now
