Tripod Vessels
Drawing inspiration from artifacts and antiquities across diverse cultures, this project reconstructs and juxtaposes classical Chinese cultural symbols with elements from other traditions to foster cross-cultural dialogue. The three-legged forms reference common styles from China's Neolithic period, reinterpreted and infused with the curves of the female breast. My sculptures emphasize female bodily forms, exploring the dynamic fusion of body and object.
