Inspired by the function and form of the ancient bronze mirror and converted from it, the “Mirror” series combines fragments to become the face of a head, on which the facial features are replaced by a stainless-steel surface, mirroring happiness, anger, sorrow and joy as the audience observes and interacts with it. “With bronze as a mirror, one can adjust his clothes properly; with history as a mirror, one can know the ups and downs; with men as a mirror, one can understand his gains and losses” – a quote from Li Shimin, aka, Emperor Taizong of Tang. Reflecting you, me, him, and everything else in the world, the “Mirror” offers words of wisdom and comprehension of life.
