是什么促使人类精神去探索，超越平凡,寻求新的视野?对我们许多人来说，这种崇高的野心始于最简单的例行公事 —— 早上喝杯咖啡。施政（MAX GPS）将这种日常仪式转化为艺术表达的燃料,用他每天的咖啡残留物作为发射台,探索一个由泥土纹理、色调和创造性形式组成的广阔宇宙。从这个意义上说，这些作品反映了隐藏在平凡中的美，以及我们经常忽视和丢弃的潜力。宇航员是 MAX GPS 作品中反复出现的人物，他探索遥远的星系不是为了征服和控制它们，而是为了寻求和理解。
What fuels the human spirit to explore, to push beyond the ordinary, and to seek new horizons? For many of us, such lofty ambitions start with the simplest of routines—a morning cup of coffee. MAX GPS transforms this everyday ritual into fuel for artistic expression, using his daily coffee residue as a launching pad to explore a vast universe of earthy textures, tones, and creative forms. In this sense, it highlights the beauty hidden in the ordinary and the potential in what we often overlook and discard. The astronaut, a recurring figure throughout MAX GPS’s body of work, isn’t exploring far-off galaxies to conquer and control them, but to seek and understand.

通过他们的头盔，我们被邀请以新鲜的眼光看一就像孩子一样一在我们的日常生活和互动中寻找奇迹、想象力和无限的待世界一潜力。虽然永恒荣耀的承诺可能会提供为许多火箭飞船(和自我)提供燃料的石油,但其他人是由一个更无辜的动机驱动的:好奇心。施政（MAX GPS）就是这样一个人。
Through their helmet, we are invited to view the world with fresh eyes—just as a child might—finding wonder, imagination, and limitless potential in our everyday routines and interactions.And while the promise of eternal glory may provide the oil that fuels many rocket ships (and egos), others are driven by a more innocent motive: curiosity. MAX GPS is one such individual.
