This is a sculpture. This artwork show what people did in the umbrella movement. The surface of the umbrella is made up with plenty of broken eggshells, and paints it with yellow color. The inside of the umbrella was pasted by the news of the umbrella movement. The aim of this artwork is to tell people what they did in the movement by going against the government is the same as a Chinese proverb: eggs bump into the rocks, which means it didn’t work.

Let the Red Pockets Fall

Acrylic paint on glass, Photoshop print, 50 x 50 cm, February 2016

The topic of this artwork is the Chinese New Year. What the artwork shows is a situation in the Chinese society. Red pockets means bringing good luck in China. People will get red pocket during the Chinese New Year, therefore they as the time past, people wants red pocket not for the best wishes from the red pocket, but the money inside it. Some people even complain the amount of the money is not enough. That’s what I want to criticise.

Below are details and processes:

The Peacock

October 22, 2015 in Acrylic Paint, Sculpture

With acrylic paint, crystal beads, cotton string, texture paste, coasters, 60 x 90 cm, October 2015

The topic of this artwork is texture. The aim of the artwork is to show the beauty of the nature, which is shown by the peacock. The reason why I choose peacock is because peacock is gorgeous, with lots of textures on it. It does have many textures, and I do think I did success in making the texture with different materials.
