Big Corn, 2015
Installation
2.5 x 1 x 1 mThe work Big Corn is intended to express feelings about architecture in the real contemporary cities and to do a self-interpretation of architecture though the symbol of corn. In the process of creation, kernels were welded one by one, and then polished repeatedly to give a mirror effect. The kernels of different shapes have different reflections of the surroundings; they represent the artist’s anxiety and depression about the urban architectures and also the reflections on the contemporary cities.
