Sculpture
Size: 450×360×680 mm
Stainless steel with non-rust treatment
Untitled, explores the maximum tension of metal as a material, shaping an abstract sculpture that embodies a sense of restraint and composure. Under varying light conditions, the shadows cast by the piece extend onto the surrounding spatial structure, enhancing its sacred presence. Light and shadow interact fluidly throughout the work. Through deliberate material selection and precise spatial placement, natural light is introduced to amplify the dynamic relationship between the external environment and the internal form. The use of triangles and semicircles draws inspiration from the Bauhaus aesthetic. The rust-red hue of the iron, combined with its sharp, upward-reaching form, symbolizes centralized power. By adopting a minimalist structure, the work conveys an atmosphere of unease, evoking an intense and unsettling presence through the simplest of forms.
艺术家探索金属材料的张力，以抽象的表现形式 制作成具有冷静克制特性的雕塑。在不同光影 下，这件作品投掷出的影子也会覆盖在空间结构 上，以此凸出它的神圣感。铁材料的锈红色和尖 锐向上的形态，代表力量的集权。尝试以简约的 外形展现强烈不适的气氛。

A4 paper, hammers, lights
This work draws from my personal experiences and observations during the prevention and control of the epidemic in Shanghai, commemorating those who have been suppressed and restrained by political power. It reflects an era in which public voices were systematically ignored, and the fundamental right to expression was stripped away. Suspended within the space, an assembly of A4 white papers represents individuals within the collective consciousness. Devoid of text, it paradoxically articulates everything that cannot be spoken. Above them, an iron hammer looms, an unmistakable symbol of the forces that seek to erase and control dissent. The installation adopts the form of a monument, serving as both a site of remembrance and a cautionary marker. A strategically positioned light source casts a towering shadow, evoking the silent yet urgent presence of history itself. Through the interplay of material and light, fragility and resilience, absence and resistance, this work compels us to remember freedom, collectivity, and the enduring power of silent defiance.
