Sculpture
Warning, 2020
Drain Unblocker, Clay, Wall Paint
40 cm x 30 cm
The collision between the two dimensional world and reality is the outcome of this work. Chewing gum is the creative concept in it, using huge surreal chewing gum to create a structure, with the toilet plug that can be seen daily, a combination of dreams and disgust. The title warning became the subject of this work.

Pink River, 2020
Water Pipe, Clay, Metal, Wall Paint
120 cm x 30 cm
This sculpture is the concept of water pipes that can be used everywhere in the street. Especially when you see the sewage come out of the water pipe wrongly. This process reminds me of any unintended stuff, which might be more than we usually miss. The method of leaking the water pipe, the person who really cares and fixes the issue on the street before understanding the matter's seriousness. Besides a fascination with water pipes, this cycle also confronts problems in our lives. Sculptures are shaped transparently, much like children sometimes experience all that adults ignore. This series of sculptures also has the same metaphor and vision behind them; nuclear spills in the actual history of the past have led to the severe negative impacts of thousands of years. In unreal materials, though, fairy-tale leaks in sculptures can have an effect on the outcome. There will always be relatives in the world to be happier, and decisions always focus on how individuals perceive and select.

This is the work of the water pipe series, and it has been performed on the streets of Hong Kong and London. On the way home. When I first doing this, I found some long water pipes surrounding the mall. Many passers-by have to walk through here, but sometimes these areas have to be overlooked, so I put these sculptures under the water pipes everywhere. The aim is to bring exciting surprises to the public. The modern social landscape and epidemic remind the audience that there still fairy tales, which is also the meaning that I have always believed in.
