After climbing up the snow mountain, I saw Him transform into an eagle. I once naively thought that what was in the forest below the mountain was a scene of war, until that day the Lord said this is true prosperity.” The work crafts multiple digital twin avators based on the artist himself as a prototype, in the context of the current global internet development and the rise of new technologies. The roles of these characters are centered around the exploration and expansion of mythological entities within this backdrop. Throughout the narrative, a combination of mythologization and playful techniques is employed to address various contemporary internet elements such as Web3.0 paradigms, artificial intelligence technology environments, virtual currency ecosystems, and attempt to envisage the crises and attitudes that may exist within this unified visual context. Simultaneously, this work aims to engage in dialogue, reflection, and uncover potential spiritual and belief dilemmas that may lie hidden behind this environment, simulating a legend beneath the realm of the internet and new technologies.
