On August 18, 2019, Xu exhibited “The Dragonfly’s Eye” in Today Art Museum. As a respectable writer, Xu drew attention to his elaboration to his illustration of the dragonfly through his own work through incorporating his own artistic interpretation as the new creative mode and idea in art media, further highlighting features of “The Dragonfly’s Eye”. The aesthetic feeling of human nature is emphasized in the creation of Dragonfly’s Eye. Unlike typical contemporary art video works, Dragonfly Eye delivers a whole course of illustration with exceptional production method—through the utilization of existing downloadable videos on the Internet. The project utilizes the romantic story between a young couple to comment on views of life and soul in the contemporary society. Seemingly novelty, the project ultimately centralizes at the idea of the critiquing human nature in the modern ages.
