The physical distance between a swimmer and an astronaut could not be further. Here, Yirui Jia has compressed the distance between the two, so that they are connected, attached, conjoined. The swimmer, a spider-like-figure with flaming orange hair, is recklessly and furiously pulling out the pink intestines of the stiffly standing astronaut. On her back are the crimson marks made by cupping therapy, as if her tireless efforts to torment have physically burdened her. Sections of the figures have been covered up with a light wash of blue paint, so that it melts and disappears into their limbs, erasing concrete notions of time and space, something Yirui Jia emphasises with the inclusion of an infinity symbol at the bottom of the painting, an emblem of perpetual and ongoing movement.
