Integrated Studio: Artist’s Trap

My trap is inspired by and intended to trap Chinese artist, Ai Weiwei. I based my piece on my Integrated Seminar paper which is about government surveillance on politically active artists in China, and therefore it is suppose to represent an eye or the lens of a camera. The spikes coming out are representative of an explosion and of how Ai Weiwei’s work is so impactful in the world. I chose certain elements from Ai Weiwei’s art such as the black and white color scheme, bicycles, and his use of arrows and sharp objects.
