'Climbing Mt.Everest is a journey to personal breakthrough, so is art a lengthy pilgrim beyond the limits of one's psyche. It was exactly Yiming's multiple painting trisp to Mt. Everest and his personal experience of the ecosystem's fragility that evoked Yiming's 'grand ambition': he wanted to turn his personal activity into a collective movement, an individual thought into a common value, and create tangible progress with 'useless' art. The power of a single person is feeble. He invited artists from around the globe, volunteers, and even children to create 81 enormous abstract paintings 15 meters long and 3 meters wide, in order call for an end to climbing Mt. Everest, while raising funds to evacuate garbage on the mountain. Further, if more people take part in this action, then Mt. Everest will no longer be a distant imagery but a spiritual home. Such spirit isn't the spirit of endless conquest but the spirit of awe and the breath of mind.'
(Abstract from the essay by Xinhao Zheng)
