As Sun Yi, editor-in-chief of Vogue Taiwan, said, "Overconsumption itself and its impact on the earth have caused environmental degradation, resource depletion, ecosystem destruction, and accelerated climate change. This idea, through the perspective of our long-term photography partner Zhong Ling, has given rise to a new prediction about future habitats: in a world where the land is limited due to rising sea water, we have become seasonal nomads and constantly migrate due to unpredictable weather. The animals and plants we once relied on for survival have disappeared, and when the soil cannot give birth to life, we have to cultivate green plants on our bodies, and we begin to carry our own home like snails. When people's desires are carefully packaged, the misplaced illusions generated by the connection between the object and happiness are deeply bound, and excessive consumption has become a kind of civilization disease, which is also like a sleep elelegy, which finally allows us to say goodbye to the beloved environment. In the scene full of smog, the girl carried the difficulties of a snail-like home. The excess of clothes on her body was mixed with dirt, almost crushing her body. Looking around, too many images have become a visual obstacle, making it impossible to distinguish between real and illusory. When the slow price of fast fashion is ignored by us, when the wardrobe is full but still feels there is no choice, when the head of the family is wrapped and filled, the heart still feels empty, the torrent of material becomes the wasteland of the soul, and the only thing that can really nourish the soul is to make a conscious choice."
