Wild Thoughts

Known for his large sculptures, artist Chen Wei Wang has participated in various public art projects. His works touch on the essence of life; meanwhile, they are also a result of the artist's contemplation over the enriching power of art for the land and the people. After being carefully cleaned and painted, pieces of found driftwood are given a brand new life, which is a wonderful example of the reuse of natural resource. With meticulous structure calculation, Wang constructs the driftwood and iron supports into an installation that resembles spring water gushing out from the old house. This flowing visual imagery is sure to inspire awe among the audience.

Specifically created for the defunct house, the installation also symbolizes imagination: what will this space become of in the future? The sky's the limit when it comes to possibilities. Ideas for transformation are just like an inexhaustible supply of water as the installation suggests. Sometimes changes might result in quite an impact, but they are also the starting point of bringing imagination into reality. At last, demolishment is to be followed by renewal, a joyful expectation for the future.
