Dormant Monster

"Dormant Monster," is a piece by Yilin that invites audiences to confront uncertainty. At first glance, it's just a balloon slowly growing. Above it hangs a menacing spike. As you stand witness to the piece, a feeling of unease washes over you. The balloon's gradual expansion represents the unstoppable march of technology, while the spike serves as a dark reminder of the dangerous path this advancement may lead us down: the concern lies in the uncertainty of the dormant monster's awakening. Without vigilance, the balloon will continue to expand until it inevitably collides with the spike, resulting in its end. This emphasizes the importance of maintaining awareness and understanding the risks associated with unchecked technological growth. It is crucial for us to recognize this responsibility to inadvertently avoid provoking consequences beyond our control.
