UNDER THE MOUNTAIN
Material: Chinese rice paper, iron wire
2021
I used traditional Chinese rice paper and iron wire as the materials, referenced from the pictures of thousand miles of rivers and mountains as the inspiration of the composition, combined with the language of concrete sculpture, to create this sculpture.
The magnificent mountains and quiet flowing water in the picture of thousand miles of rivers and mountains entrusted the good expectations of the literati and nobles in the late Northern Song Dynasty for the country. China, with its rapid economic development, is on the way to realizing this distant ideal. However, have we ever noticed that left-behind children who live in the remote mountain area, at foot of the mountain? What have they sacrificed for the development of the times?
