In the artwork, Xu Zhen depicts the webpage interface for searching for the peak of Mount Kailash. The artist skillfully juxtaposes the sacredness of Mount Kailash with the practicality of the search interface. While suggesting a certain conflict, Xu Zhen unifies the contradictions through the unique warmth and subtlety of Chinese ink painting, creating a marvelous coexistence. This painting is a reflection on the relationship between the form, the tool used, a form of contemporary spiritual pursuit, reflecting on the relationship between tools and content.
