这件作品通过“居所”的视角探讨人与自然之间的关系。人类源自自然，天生具备栖居其中的本能。然而，如今的建筑却成为环境破坏的重要推手，使我们愈发疏离自然。《依附大地》试图重新想象一种更为原始与本能的栖居方式——既满足当代生活的需求，又能从自然中汲取并最终回归自然。
作品亦折射出当下普通人的生活处境。在这个不断进步、持续变迁的世界里，人们被生存的压力驱使，在钢筋水泥的桎梏中麻木地消耗生命。犹如忽明忽暗的灯火，他们闪烁着、燃烧着，照亮层层叠叠的建筑，而这些建筑仿佛正在一点点吞噬他们。

This work explores the relationship between humans and nature through the lens of dwelling. Evolving from nature, humans possess an innate instinct to live within it. The buildings now contribute significantly to environmental degradation, further alienating us from the natural world. Earthbound seeks to reimagine a form of dwelling that is more primal and instinctual, one that meets the needs of contemporary living while drawing from and returning to nature.
This work reflects on the condition of ordinary people’s lives in the present day. In a world of relentless progress and constant change, people are driven by the demands of survival, numbly burning through their lives within the constraints of steel and concrete. Like flickering lights, they glow, dimly and brightly, illuminating the layers of buildings that seem to consume them.
