Grass grows in the brain. As we speak, the grass is mowed."

Explores the issue of censorship in China. Twenty-five flags are placed side by side, and they all have the same sentence printed: "Grass grows in the brain. As we speak, the grass is mowed." And they have been translated into twenty-five different languages. All the flags fluttered freely in the wind, except for the one in the middle - in Chinese. It was covered by a transparent acrylic box, impermeable to the wind, isolated from the flags around it and motionless. It seems to be the most “safe”, not afraid of the wind and the rain, but for this so-called “safety" all those who know this language, all those who come from the same land, know very well that we have paid a heavy price for this “safety". The fluttering flag contrasts with the static flag, which is also the position and posture of China in the world.
