About the artwork

Throughout Chinese history, red has been the symbolic and auspicious color in Southern China. In real world, the bodies in red change the works realistic tendency, and stress their unrealistic aspects, which express the sculptor's negation of the pursuit of money and power, tension, anxiety, fear and cruelty in the adult world. They also convey people's common wishes, the nostalgia of their innocent childhood and a questioning of Chinese culture.
