Mark He Ma:I devote the most important creation to the most important and beloved person of my life - my grandma.

On July 28, 1997, I was born. That was my first time seeing grandma.

On May 1st, 2014, at the platform of the train station, grandma was lying on a stretcher. My mother, aunt and uncle accompanied grandma back to the north by train. That was the last time I saw her.

Whenever I’m missing my grandma, I’m filled with regrets. There are some contradictions in my memory. I chose the form of pop-up book installation to present the words that I have been hiding in my heart and that are ineffable. I don't think I have a chance to say goodbye to my grandma, and I don't want to, either. I will never say goodbye.

Mark's creative inspirations come mostly from his childhood experiences and family kinship. He tries to inject into the ever-developing art field more warming and touching works. For a long time, he has been exploring the use of paper as a medium of creation, and constantly developing and enriching the artistic possibilities of three-dimensional

book-making.
