Artist Statement：
The waterdrop is special for that they can always find the path of least resistance; however, the opposite is true for human beings. They are more like balloons in tires and sculptures in real life, and are always receiving and burdening forces from different situations, ways, and directions,deforming positively or negatively to adapt to themselves or others, but struggling to maintain harmony on surface. Unconsciously all of us changed, for the remaining must be the consequence of “survival of the fittest”. I intend to express a reluctant harmony at ease, and inject thoughts for life, space, material, and force naturally.
