Meng Du is interested in preserving memories and keeping a record of them so they do not fade over time. With a natural instinct to extract meaning from narrative, she also wants to show memories in decay, as a way of memorializing them and showing the process of their slow disappearance from our consciousness. She incorporates the drawings and found objects, which come from her personal life experience into the surface treatment and imaging techniques of glass. To represent the nostalgic feeling and memories of certain times and places that she does not want to let go of.

杜蒙始终关注对记忆的保存与记录，以免它们随时间的流逝而消退。凭借能够从故事中提取意义的天生敏感性，杜蒙展现记忆衰变的过程，呈现它们如何从潜意识里缓慢消失，变为纪念记忆本身的一种方式。她将速写和插画手法融入到对玻璃的表层处理及图像制作工艺之中，并加入来自个体经验的现成品，以此再现她不愿丢失的，来自特定时空之下的乡愁跟记忆。
