About the artwork

The Custom to Motherland series consists of several smaller figures clothed in habitual costumes of the Han and Qin periods that possess a great actuality and lively presence. Although Custom to Motherland No.1 is one of the smaller of Cai Zhisong's sculptures it at the same time proves one of the most impressive. The small body of an ancient warrior bends down, tired and exhausted. His arms hang down and his head bends forward. His whole posture seems as if he carries a heavy weight on his shoulders while he carefully sets one foot in front of the other. Even his dress seems crushed and crumpled by some exterior force weighing heavily on the delicate figure. Flat and even without much expression, the eyes barely visible and the wide mouth only slightly opened, the closed, stoical face contrasts the expressive emotions of the body.
