Bingyi leaves the scale of this painting intentionally ambiguous: Let Me Become might be showing us microscopic cells, blossoming flowers, or the entirety of the ever-expanding universe. This piece is a part of Bingyi’s series of paintings related to the notion of wanwu (roughly translated as “myriad things”). She considers this artwork an object of meditation, connecting different viewers through a shared experience and creating a space for deep contemplation.
