Maurice Merleau-Ponty stressed the importance of "autofigurative sentiments", in which his aesthetic ideal was similar to the "artistic conception" emphasis of literati art tradition in China. This time, Prof. Ho Siu-kee guided me to pursue landscape drawing and painting without thinking too much about social science and philosophy. He just wanted me to be primitive in perceiving the grace from nature as similar as Paul Cezanne. I did sketching at the CUHK Swimming Pool. Driven by the trend of Phoebus' casting for "I SWIM" movie on ViuTV channel, I manifested my "autofigurative sentiments" to portray the youthful sentiments of the CUHK Swimming Pool by imagining myself as a swimming-team member practicing freestyle and breaststroke swim with a group of cute twinks.

5. My drawing practices at
CUHK Swimming Pool

6. With selective
techniques

8. PLAN: 5 small drawings and 2 paintings
on display panel + 5 huge drawings on
the floor

9. Hesitations in my mind:
- Am I moving towards the realm of Chineseness
(artistic conception)?
- Am I searching for a union between Heaven
and man?
- Am I repeating what William Kentridge is doing?
- Am I experimenting another sort of
ethnography by perceiving how other CUHK
schoolmates observe my drawing process and
how I response to their feedbacks?
