Fu has a practice of diving which has informed the atmosphere of his works. Some of the senses are withdrawn, especially speech, as if the figures were mute. The figures seem to exist between dreaming and a fragile state, as if they were out of breath. The images that Fu conjures are fantastical, yet they are also drawn from the everyday environments that he absorbs. On the outskirts of Paris, Fu is moved by the vulnerable beings he encounters, sleeping in the street, sometimes between life and death. In Fu’s works images appear in broken glass (𝘔𝘦𝘭𝘢𝘯𝘤𝘩𝘰𝘭𝘺 𝘴𝘶𝘳𝘧𝘢𝘤𝘦, 2026) or actual stone shards as if fragmented (selenite works, 2026) – the image is seldom full; we see cuts, details reinforcing the notion of fragility and imperfection. It is the profound effect of the images we absorb daily, and the fragility of life, that Fu captures in the 𝘚𝘶𝘣𝘭𝘶𝘯𝘢𝘳𝘺 series.
