Through a diffusion structure, this sculpture visually manifests the notion of ‘convergence of infinite phenomenon’, encapsulating a multiplicity of metaphors on themes of urban architecture and city development and meditating on various contexts of the information age – speed, communication, energy of transmission along with intricate flows of information, humans and products. It invites further association on topics related to the traditional Chinese architectural tenon-and-mortise (榫卯) unit, information explosion, contemporary mythology and so forth. Related keywords such as growth, power, expansion, radiation, transmission, interaction, etc., are deployed to unpack the contemplation of multi-layered forms. The sculpture stimulates visual enticement and viewers’ imaginative capacity, revolving around the universal topic of the information age and its influence on humans and urban life.
