Artwork description: This work employs the formulaic replication of fused glass to strip traditional peony motifs of their cultural symbolism, transforming them into a limitless proliferation of visual experience. Positioned between industrial product and handmade artifact, the fused glass takes on a sugary texture—this mass-producible, easily available sweetness hints at the alienation of traditional values within contemporary consumer culture. The work itself, with its uninterrupted patterns reminiscent of ancient relics, intentionally perplexes viewers about its true nature: Are we witnessing excavated cultural heritage, or industrial debris being buried? When traditional motifs are decontextualized and endlessly reproduced, their cultural weight dissolves into lightweight sensory stimulation—as alluring and fragile as sugar crystals.
