Why
gates?
The best for study abroad is that you can feel what different
between the two countries with culture.
Also I realized that it is impotent that put yourself in a international
field as a professional artist, and how lucky I live in a country
which own a rich and deep culture.
I have visited dozens of cities and towns in Britain. The most
thing that impression me is building, especially the old building
in industry areas. Compare with Chinese building, I believe that
our ancient buildings are very special in the world.
They have their own architecture language, which have much more
different with other cultures. Moreover, I fund the difference
forms of city gates give me a strong feeling. From the form we
are given the information that it was not built for welcome people
to get in, but show the power for defend, show the dignity that
cannot offend. I don’t know when it became a symbol that represents
an area. We use ‘into the gate’ or ‘cross the threshold’ to describe
people starting a new area study or using ‘attack the gate’ to
describe tackle key problems. We use the term ‘country gate’ to
describe a country ‘Gateway Opens’ or ‘Live In Seclusion’. Behind
a gate always hind the mysterious that made people to guess, to
imagine ‘What is inside?’ Is treasure or monster?
With a numerous drafts developed, I try to made my gates series
give the audience a feeling with power, solemn, simple and unsophisticated.
它们非常精！！！！我很高兴看到它们，你显然工作的非
常非常努力，其结果是超级的。
