During the creation of Dunhuang, the "Muguang Plan" experienced the natural feelings from Feisha, Meteor, Galaxy to the uninhabited area; also experienced the outlook of loss, power out of power, anchoring, and city stopping the world; Sand and water depend on each other, and the art westward tour of the "Muguang Plan" experienced the appearance of the planet, but surpassed the space -time scale of the planet. However, from the beginning of the launch, "Mu Guang" is not a artistic creation plan based on strict planning, systematic overall planning and clarity; it has not followed the conceptual orientation, method first, or the audience as a big creative practice; Open up the territory, or the qualitative regulations of the origin of art.

However, from the south of the smoke and rain, rotating at the day and night alternation, waiting in the vast and unknown. Nowadays, the appearance of the "Muguang Plan" may be slightly clear: the "Muguang Plan" is all the way to the west and aims to move; the purpose of practice and response; the purpose of feeling and failure to feel. Therefore, the pastoral plan is a nomadic progress between the completion of art and the failure to complete, but it does not emphasize the "process" of art, but it is rather that it is the source of the source of the process of returning to the process of art.
