最近創(chuàng)作的“都市”系列作品，是我感受到一些關(guān)于人與現(xiàn)實社會有意思的關(guān)系，宏觀的看在城市中不斷變化的人。今天的中國，城市是主要的標志；公共交通道路的概念，以非傳統(tǒng)“街道”。這種轉(zhuǎn)變充分體現(xiàn)了人與社會的公共關(guān)系，人與城市密不可分的關(guān)系，而這種新型關(guān)系是我們?nèi)粘Ｉ钪兄饾u形成的。
我看到了，我以及他，在城市的洪流中奔波，為了生存在忙碌，無法停止。漫無邊際的高樓把我們淹沒，在巨大的不斷運轉(zhuǎn)城市機器中，蕓蕓眾生像被無形力量牽引著，不由自主，從清晨到午夜不停地循環(huán)流動著，永無休止。人們不知道自己要的，應(yīng)該相信什么？不知道自己存在的意義。生存壓力競爭已將人變成了機器，人流、物流、車流，大型、中型、小型的混合的運輸工具無處不在，人生就像一場沒有開始和結(jié)束的戰(zhàn)爭。空氣、自然、生物被損害，人們在無休止的重復(fù)每天的活動，不知何時是盡頭；人們變得緊張，恐慌，不知道我們的家究竟在那里。
道路、車輛、行人，我們的生活、我們的家，未來會怎么樣；那個單純的自己，單純的人都跑到那里去了？
從80年代到今天，我看到社會從過去到現(xiàn)在的變化，生活越來越好，吃的、穿的、用的，這樣的轉(zhuǎn)變，人的轉(zhuǎn)變，環(huán)境的轉(zhuǎn)變，我們完全無法預(yù)知未來，但也許在“都市”中能找到它。

Pan Dehai’s Self- Narration
The idea of creating my recent works “City Series” originated from my feeling and thought about the interesting relation between man and society, and my observation of ever changing people living in cities. In today’s China, road is a main symbol of city. The public traffic road is no longer the traditional “street”. This transformation fully reflects the public relation between man and society and the inseparable relation between man and city. This newly developed relation is gradually formed in our daily life.
I see that we are all rushing about in the big city, striving for living, for a better life, never ending. We are submerged by numberless high-rises, and in the huge non-stopping running cities, numerous living beings are pulled by some kind of intangible power which beyond their control, working around the clock, without no ending. People do not know what they want or believe, neither what they are living for; survival pressure and competition has already turned them into machines. Stream of people, goods, and cars, and innumerable large, medium and small vehicles are mingled in the city. Life is like a war, with no starting and ending. The air, nature and living creatures are contaminated and destroyed. Human beings are endlessly repeating their everyday activities, not knowing when to stop. People get nervous and panic, wondering, but never managing to find where our homes are.
What will the road, car, pedestrian, our life and home be in the future? That pure man of myself, and all of the others, where have you gone?
From 1980s till today, I witness the social changes from past to present. Our life is getting better and better, no matter the food, clothes, or daily goods. However, we are also experiencing various changes of ourselves and the environment. We cannot predict the future, but we may find the result in the “city”.
