Feng Shan's work is currently on view in the group exhibition "When Beacon Towers Become Bonsai," co-organized by CC Foundation and Third Street Gallery, curated by Nico Gai. "Beacon towers were frontier outposts built in ancient Central China to transmit military intelligence and defend against nomadic incursions. When these typological structures are re-examined today through aerial views, mapping, modeling, and quasi-landscape perspectives, their remaining fragments undergo a fundamental transformation in contemporary significance. Bonsai, as an orchestrated miniature of nature, condenses wildness and uncertainty into a controllable scale through pruning, shaping, and the restriction of growth. Vast landscapes are reduced and abstracted, entering drawings, museum display cases, tourist routes, and cultural narratives, ultimately becoming objects that are positioned and admired—like bonsai."
