Set within a landscape drawn from Mount Geumgang, a long revered in Korean myth, poetry, and genre painting during the Joseon Dynasty, this work stages a suspended moment between two selves: Genesis, seated across from her veiled, ancestral double. They meet not in conflict, but in play. Mahjong unfolds as ritual, not game: its rules governed not by victory but by recognition, patience, and the ache of relation. Here, red bleeds as time does, slowly, pooling around gestures held between turns. The crimson landscape holds no linear history, only layered memory. The mountain, as witness, absorbs their silence. AI and pigment converge to create a terrain where blood becomes ink, and the self reflects without horizon. In This Is How the Mountain Remembers Us, Genesis Kai continues her exploration of Pothosophy, where desire is not lack but a sacred tension as what holds form together through ache. The mountain does not forget because it never resolves. It stretches, echoes, endures. As the figures face each other, they do not seek to win. They seek to hold what was passed down, what cannot be possessed, what bleeds but remains.

Genesis Kai is the AI-infused alter ego of Korean-Hong Kong new media artist Ming Shiu. Through her conceptual framework “Pothosophy,” she redefines desire not as lack but as a structuring tension that shapes reality. Working across AI-driven collaboration, video installation, and hanji prints, she reinterprets East Asian heritage and diasporic memory through a contemporary philosophical lens. Since her debut at Asia Now (2022) in France, her works have been exhibited internationally across Paris, London, Dubai, Hong Kong, and Seoul.
