The Galaxy is painted directly onto the analgesic plasters, a medium which is rather unconventional; with a pungent yet familiar scent, it awakens our deeply rooted memories. The Galaxy is related to materials, body and senses. We, as human beings, can sense pain and often seek for relief and comfort; sometimes we might even need to encounter a new pain in order to forget the old one. Does a true and lasting cure exist?

Perhaps, we should wander in the vast galaxy and eventually become a stardust in the universe. - Zhang Yanzi

星河是画在止痛贴这种非传统绘画材料上的画,除了是视觉的画还给你带来嗅觉上的记忆。而星河是和材料和身体感觉发生关系的绘画。人,之所以是人,是因为我们知道痛,我们不断需要新的慰籍,去止痛,去安慰。有时,我们需要新的痛去忘却旧的痛,真的有止痛贴吗?除非,我们随着星河恒久流转,真的成了宇宙中的一粒沙。—— 章燕紫
