It is an installation.
As an international student studying in the UK, I try to find a kind of connection in the world, which between physical and psycological of human beings, modern and traditional, manmade and nature, past and now, even east and west and so on. Therefore, I found a good media, shadow, to express what I want to say to the world.
This installation is made by thousands of metal people models' shadows which show an abstract image like a chinese traditional painting on a piece of fabric. Moreover, As a boundary and connection at the same time, the screen (fabric) cuts the work to two parts, one is quiet another one is fashion, but it is a whole, like the body and shadow. I would like to visitors can depend on their own memories and get involved and enjoy their own feeling in this work.
