Pengfei Zai 宰鹏飞

Pengfei Zai is a painter from China who, in the past four years, has been using pencils, charcoal, and paper as his materials to create a series of works called Motion Sickness Pills. This series delves into the chaos of space and the drifting of lost souls through the currents of time, exploring themes such as one’s true self being trapped in a dreamscape.
