This project is inspired from a Chinese folk adage, people said the gold will shine anywhere. I painted black color on the most area of this plaster head and base. Black always connect with unknowing or mystery or even unrest, so I want to use black create an unknowing environment, just like where I stay in. A lot of social resources and competitions have led many talent people to be buried, and I can feel a deep sense of oppression. But under that coarse black skin, There is hidden inside the shiny gold, golden light break through the gap and shining out. I installed light inside of the plaster head, there is much beautiful than outside, but is really hard to see, but is time to be discovered by others now. I think this is a really good work to represent my current state, I also injected a lot of effort in this work.
