Scar
Last night, there was a light snowfall, evenly covering every scar in the city.
Aesthetic is important, but the appreciation of "ugliness" is even more important. It may sound derogatory to say "appreciating ugliness," but it should be understood as a sense of beauty that is out of place or critical. Owen Payne, while working for "Fashion" magazine, collected discarded cigarette butts and worn-out gloves from the streets. These things are undoubtedly ugly, but compared to "Fashion" magazine, they are more in line with the everyday life of ordinary people. Not only Owen, but many photographers also focus on the "ugly," which reflects their consideration for ordinary people. They care about ordinary people and believe that ordinary people should be the focus of society. The joys and sorrows of ordinary people are a microcosm of an era, not "beauty."
Let art be grounded and let artists pay more attention to ordinary people. It seems that Chinese artists are becoming more and more distant from ordinary people, and this is not a good sign.
