Caption

Wind Chimes - Sousa Chinensis seeks to transcend the constraints of time through artistic practices. Blending traditional sand-casting techniques with 3D printing, the work uses aluminum to recreate the skeleton of a Sousa Chinensis, commonly known as the Chinese white dolphin. Stone-age technologies of boat building, fishing tool making, and weapon development seamlessly merge with the modern-day manufacturing of alloy fasteners. This endangered species is thus endowed with new form and meaning. Gracefully suspended in the sky, the sculpture resembles a celestial being descending, its quivering wings seemingly whispering a tale of the alternation and resonance between the fragile and the magnificent.
