Fú, a piece of paper with incantations, traditionally burned to communicate in the Taoist practices. In the contemporary world, shipping labels are also used for communication, therefore I envision a world where fú is the standard shipping method. And similar to graffiti artists, the street Taoists would not only create artwork upon these fú but also make their own stickers that resemble traditional Taoist imagery. These digital artworks experiment with an alternative reality of our world in order to blur the boundary between tradition and the contemporary, and different culture expressions.
