This work uses traditional Chinese elements to illustrate modern consumption problem. With economic and social development, the role of bags has gradually shifted from practicability to decoration, even to the symbol of identity. The main characters of the picture are giant pandas, Tibetan antelopes and black-necked Cranes, who dress up in gorgeous clothes and compare with each other's contemporary luxury bags. This consumption mentality is also a form of overconsumption.

To express the overconsumption of culture, the work illustrates a bustling market scene and combine traditional Chinese elements with Western luxury goods. It shows the cultural shock caused by business globalization between China and Western countries. I did a special treatment of gold tracing in texture, which would produce different visual effects under the refraction of light. This special texture depicts the social status of different characters.

Kingfisher is a very beautiful but endangered rare bird. The reason why it is on the verge of extinction is related to the large use of "kingfisher" ornaments in the Qing Dynasty.  Only a few useful feathers can be obtained from one kingfisher, therefore a complete kingfisher headdress would cost hundreds of kingfishers' lives. It seems that their lives are freezing in the ornaments. I want to reflect the phenomenon of contemporary overconsumption through the discussion of the craft called dotting with kingfishers and the endangered kingfishers, which also echoes with the theme of "emperor's new clothes".

This painting is called Gate of Palace, which combines the phenomenon of the overuse of kingfisher feathers in ancient China and the overconsumption of luxury goods in contemporary times.There is nothing outside the palace gate but free, on the contrary, inside of the gate are extremely luxurious but restrained and decadent.
