Sculpture

Debris is a series of sculptures created jointly with The White Stone, on the subject of fallen rocket debris. Debris proposes a reexamination of the human relationship with such debris while imagining the transformation of materiality through its physical and political conditions.

The rocket debris used in the sculpture was donated by a private rocket company in China after the artist’s three-year negotiation with them. Although the debris has been stripped of any technological components and is just raw steel, it is still classified as "supplies to weapons" and cannot be exported outside of China. However, through the process of donation and the creation of art from this metal waste, the material's political properties have been transformed into works of art that can now be exhibited globally.
