Yunnan Jinggu Baima Mountain, at an altitude of over 2000 meters, boasts a unique red land topography. Legend has it that a pair of white dragons transformed into white horses and made this place their home, hence the name. Dongsoft XiKang YunShe has crafted a "Mars tribe" on the cliff of Baima Mountain, resembling a seldom-visited lonely planet.
We need to build a sculpture, or installation art, for Baima Mountain to become a scenic spot in the scenic area.

This creation stands proudly atop Baima Mountain, taking the form of two spirited horses, necks intertwined, their gazes meeting as they shine amidst the moonlight and mist. The design's focus lies in the hollowed-out horse patterns, simplifying and abstracting the forms of camellias and tea leaves into a continuous four-sided motif.

The piece is named "Zhaoxin," signifying a continuous "awakened heart." When the awakened hearts connect, they form a complete "Zhaoxin." Their mutual gaze reminds me of the eye language between Luo Ji and Zhuang Yan in "The Three-Body Problem," where the moments of joy, sorrow, gain, and loss can redefine the world in a single embrace. It can be understood as a meeting at the peak, a love that is true and pure, or even a dialogue with oneself or self-love. They haven't said anything, yet it seems as though they have spoken volumes. They lie down to sleep beneath the vast starry sky, wake up with the sunrise over the sea of clouds, quietly witnessing the splendor of the sun and moon, and the ever-changing tides of the sea.
