Fantastical, turbid, and unclear in focus,this artwork is without pause. The suitedcharacter (far left), with his face partiallyconcealed by the borders of the canvas, isa continuation of Yirui Jia’s previous workSpurs Virus. Yellow tentacles, or rays of the sun, beam down from the male character, as he violently and eerily consumes emaciated coconut leaves and an inbound rufous plane with a seemingly malleable exterior. create a cyclone of air. In this scene, both the sun-like figure and the pharaoh master the weather conditions, climate and energy of Yirui Jia's extraordinary landscape.
