Taoliving-Light Stone No. 2

作品賞析

LAI Yu-Cheng uses art to project images that reflect the absurdity of modernity, the vicious cycle brought about by the depletion of ecological resources, and the chain of environmental events that happen afterwards. The resulting artworks compel viewers to reflect upon environmental destruction behind the well-packaged beauty of modern lifestyles. Taoliving-Light Stone No.2 is a circular composition depicted against a black background like a planet floating in space. The surface is covered by mushroom-shaped stones of various colors, beautiful grasses, and a single, withered tree that glows in the dark. A rhinoceros, birds, and penguins from different climate regions stand around, while the space is decorated with a satellite and moon. The entire picture serves as a symbol of rapid technological development and how it had affected the species living on this planet.
