This sculpture “Community” uses multi-colored marbles to analog social individuals in the world today, reflecting their different values, ethnicity, gender, culture, and even beliefs. The boat-shaped wooden vessel not only symbolise the earth where all human beings rely on but also a metaphor of the “Ark” to sail people through the tribulations. In this assemblage of lives, conflicts and contrasts shine in their own ways while fundamentally whole-heartedly help each other in the same boat.
