In the Anthropocene, the geological strata are no longer hidden underground but are accumulating on the surface in real-time. I adopt the gaze of a future archaeologist, using the camera lens rather than a shovel to conduct a "surface excavation" of our contemporary landscape.
The focus of this visual research is the paradox of modern materiality: the mass-produced plastic debris that pervades our environment. I frame these discarded objects not as trash, but as "future fossils" suspended in a temporal limbo—about to solidify into the geological record yet still haunting the living world. By documenting these "plastic ghosts" through a pseudo-documentary framework, I attempt to deconstruct the narrative of consumer society, freezing the fleeting moment where the synthetic waste transforms into an eternal, terrifying heritage. It is a study of the present as if it were already a lost history.


在人类世，地质层不再仅仅隐匿于地下，而是正在地表实时堆积。我采用了未来考古学家的视角，以镜头代替铲子，对我们当代的景观进行了一场“地表挖掘”。
这项视觉研究的焦点在于现代物质性的悖论：充斥于我们环境中的批量生产的塑料残骸。我将这些被遗弃的物体不视为垃圾，而是视为悬浮于时间边缘的“未来化石”——它们即将凝固成地质记录，却依然像幽灵般纠缠着现世。通过伪纪录片的框架记录这些“塑料幽灵”，我试图解构消费社会的叙事，冻结那个合成废弃物转化为永恒且令人恐惧的遗产的瞬间。这是一项将当下视为已逝历史的研究。
