Mu Qiao and Mu Kun

Text on the left (vertical / slanted)

Qingming Festival night — old father

got up at night to use the toilet and fell

brain vessel burst at the back — now basically unable to speak

movement difficult — I always wanted to give him

a happy old age — looking at it now

it was basically achieved — the old man is happy

Mu Qiao and Mu Kun — two blood brothers

The farewell to my father was cruel and beautiful — unlike the farewell to my mother.

For six months, the artist stopped all creative work and devoted himself entirely to caring for his dying father. At the same time, he recorded daily life in charcoal: the state of his father regressing to a three-year-old child — the details of feeding, changing diapers, assisting with bodily functions — alongside the process of building a kitchen, a bedroom, and a garden for his father with his own hands.

This is a record that cannot be called a "work." It is the most honest emotional archive.
