Zhuangzi described a fable like this - the emperor of the South Sea is called Su(倏), the emperor of the North Sea is called Hu(忽), and the emperor of the center is called Chaos(混沌). Su and Su often meet in the place of Chaos, and Chaos treats them very earnestly. Su and Hu discussed together how to repay Chaos' heavy kindness, saying, "Everyone has eyes, ears, mouth, and nose, which are used to see, hear, eat, and breathe, but Chaos does not have them. He cut seven orifices." They cut one hole every day, and after seven days, Chaos died.
Animals have their own country. They have thoughts, emotions, expressions, and unique intelligence systems. In many cases, people are actually the same as animals.
This fable deeply moved me. "Chaos" is also a mythical beast recorded in "Shan Hai Jing"(《山海经》). I am very interested in this beast. So I tried to create such a creature without seven orifices. Chaos has a child in the same state on his head. They are integrated into a whole, as if searching for their own answer. I call this state of seeking the way(寻道).

Yong Chang Zhao is a contemporary Chinese artist known for his innovative exploration of oriental modeling language in his artwork. Born in 1992 in China, Zhao graduated from the School of Sculpture and Public Art at the China Academy of Art. Throughout his career, he has received numerous accolades, including the Excellence Award at the 8th Zhejiang Youth Art Exhibition, the Hong Kong Youth Design Award (YDA), and the Silver Award for China Academy of Art Graduation Creation and Lin Fengmian Creation Award.

Zhao's work has been exhibited widely across China and has been featured in prominent contemporary art fairs such as the 7th Shanghai Youth Art Fair, Art Shanghai International Fair, Art Suzhou, Art Xiamen, and Art Shenzhen. His art is deeply influenced by the oriental aesthetic temperament, particularly the concept of "circle" found in classical oriental sculptures. This influence is evident in his emphasis on lines and shapes that reflect a "circular" wisdom, embodying a harmonious and continuous flow.

In his sculptures, Zhao often depicts knights who are mature beyond their years, imbued with a melancholic yet thoughtful demeanor. These figures, characterized by a steady and introspective temperament, represent Zhao's exploration of deep-seated power dynamics and self-reflection. They embody a chivalrous spirit, capable of expressing and doing things beyond Zhao's own capabilities, serving as extensions of his inner world.

Zhao believes that art possesses the power to reveal truths, embody goodness, and inspire beauty. He views the creation of art as a means to address the darker aspects of the world, providing a true emotional foundation, guiding values, and offering spiritual cleansing through aesthetics. His works aim to foster spiritual interaction and connection, continually contributing to the creation of a richer spiritual world.
