Larys Frogier, the director of Rockbund Art Museum, states, "In 2010, Cai Guo-Qiang transformed 'low-tech' inventions, handmade by peasants, into the art project Peasant Da Vincis. It debuted at Rockbund Art Museum before travelling to various institutions around the world, including CCBB in Rio de Janeiro, where it became the most visited exhibition by a living artist in the world in 2013.

Over a decade later, the artist integrates the 'high-tech' nature of the NFT with his gunpowder paintings to create another art project. The project poses the questions: What defines an artist's work? What is an art project? It reflects on the questions surrounding the transience and eternity of the digital age symbolized by NFTs, and the core concept of how value is stored. In the isolation age of pandemic and post-pandemic, the project aims to reflect on the weight of transient existence in the eternal river of time."
