Animal Religion IV: Rebirth of the Souls, 50x60cm, Lihui Liang, 2022

A gigantic slug appeared(on the right corner), entering bars and pubs and swallowing any humans it encountered. The gigantic slug was divine. Its agenda was to take away non-spiritual objects, including jackets, underpants, heels, and luxury jewellery. These non-spiritual objects created lust, hatred, and fear among humans. Its job was to eliminate them. The slug then spilled out human flesh as who they were without the labels in society. Without any jewellery and clothes to show social status, humans could remain true to their souls.

In the next step, purified souls went through the door of Animal Religion, which was shown in the middle of the canvas. Once the soul entered, he or she could choose to merge with animals as his/her new identity to experience a new life. The new life provided them with counterreality experience to acquire wisdom and divine power. The phoenix gained the power for an infinite rebirth and the green fox could create doors to transport herself or others to different places.

Finally in the last stage, it was the contemplation of the world, that would contextualize the land of Animal Religion within the broader world, which I will continue to illustrate in my next painting.
