Previously, 'PEACE' has been a brand the artist initiated for exhibitions - a brand image incorporating the PEACE slogan with a white and grey Taoist Taiji symbol. Si-Qin mimics New York fashion brand Hood by Air’s sub-brand HBA, creating his own TBP (Truth by Peace) version in Beijing, one evoking K-Pop culture, as well as the production of large-scale commercial images. For Si-Qin, the adaptation of the brand undergoes a transformation similar to metamorphic processes found in the natural world - they derive from matter shifting through phase transitions from one attractor to another. Informed by the qualities and form of rock minerals, the 'Truth by Peace' series constitutes a conceptual brand released by the artist under the banner of which includes the production of sculpture and light-box installations. Geological transformation is used as a metaphor for a consumer culture heated, pressurized and compressed in order to generate new patterns and forms. Here, Si-Qin presents our culture as material itself, a world where objects have a life outside of our relationship them and where biology forms a dynamic of visceral experiences and reactions beyond their physical suggestion.
