Humanization
by Shu Wang
$8,000
Without human intervention, nature is shapeless and free. However, when nature exists within a city, which is a highly humanized society, it is molded into specific shapes and deliberately transformed according to human wishes. Being sociable often means that the weaker party is unable to show their willingness and is plundered by the stronger party. Works from Humanization adapt the shape of stone and mountain from nature but are molded into predetermined forms that do not exist in nature as a result of shaping by human. These predetermined forms eventually become restrictions and regulations. Their shapes are fixed and will not change. Whoever wants to fit in will have to endure the uncomfortable feelings they provoke.
