About the artwork

Inner torment is something that relates to all of us, as Cai states: "Pain is universal, no matter who you are, everyone feels pain at some point." This has, of course, held true throughout history, with external phenomena constantly changing, but the same emotions continuing to exist. With modern techniques and materials, the figures capture the viewer's imagination and achieve a timeless beauty. This can be seen in the intricate surface detail, such as the ornate hairstyles created out of thin wires, contrasting with the simple, clear shapes and poses.
