No Nightingale (2023)

This project boldly imagines a universe cycle associated with the Ouroboros from a science fiction perspective, discusses the individual's sorrow of being unable to break free from the vast torrent and no external concern, consequently, peering into the invincibility of fate.

Five million years from now, after multiple rises and falls, human civilization, having collided and connected with alien civilizations, has left its mark across several star systems. The explosive development of technology brings humans closer to the truth of universe existence and foresees the inevitable ruin of intelligent life in the universe cycle. After numerous desperate attempts at salvation only hasten the ruin process, humans ultimately clears themselves in despair. Another five million years after human extinction, intelligent life from planets once colonized by Earth humans reaches Earth, and unearth the origins, development, prosperity, and decline of human civilization — both birth and decay exist eternally in the universe cycle. Facing the human remnants buried in the oblivion, they feel insignificant and powerless, as if looking into a mirror reflecting their future.
