Jimi transforms "images" into a fresh and comforting literary language. In his works, he creates smooth and poetic visuals, radiating a deep and enchanting charm. The story begins with a man who tumbles from a skyscraper. As he jumps down from a five-story height, he takes with him a bright moon from the sky. The moon no longer hangs high in the night sky, and people are frantic, disheartened, and lost. How could the moon they had always taken for granted disappear without warning? The seas cease to play with tides, and a spacecraft preparing to land on the moon gets lost in the starry sea. With the powerful coverage of television media, the panic of the end of the world spreads endlessly in the streets and alleys... Jimi tells the story this way, calmly. Beneath the vibrant and rich colors, there is always a subtle emotion. Some say it's a subtle sorrow, with a hint of sadness; others say that behind the subtlety lies a vast imaginative space, such as an art appreciative teacher who mentions that the falling moon actually carries some symbolic meaning. What does it symbolize? Life and death? A friend and his memories? Or a belief that sustains life?
