The video WAVE (2017) records the movement of the ocean hitting the shore, and because of the almost nonexistent traces of people and the high aerial perspective, the video looks like an unusual physical GIF. One might say that the work entirely shifts our perceptions and visions of the beach to its natural and physical side. Invasion and retreat coexist between the ocean and the land; this is the mixed, transitional property of the beach. In the chapter entitled “Will and Wave” in The Gay Science, Nietzsche noted that a wave is an aimless, meaningless occurrence, a Dionysian moment. It transcends time and custom, so it seems like a moment that can be separated from places and cross boundaries.

影像记录的是海洋冲击沙滩时的运动，由于画面中极少出现人的影踪，加之又是高空俯瞰的视角，最终呈现为一种异样的物理动图。可以说，它是将我们对于海滩的感知和想象完全让渡给其自然和物理的一面。入侵与倒退共生于海洋与陆地之间，这正是海滩本身的混合－过渡属性。在《快乐的科学》中的“意志与海浪”一节，尼采指出，海浪是一个无目的、无意义的发生，是一个狄奥尼索斯的时刻。它不仅超越了时间，也超越了习俗，所以，看起来它不只像是固定在某一隔离地点的、可以准许越界的“时刻”。
