About the artwork

This rare artwork from the 'Ode' series is visibly unique among Cai Zhisong's sculptures. Composed of copper plates, the discoloration and uneven shades of the figure's two-dimensional, simply-shaped robe suggestions antiquity and contrasts Cai's usual style of carefully detailed sculpture. The baldness of three-dimensional bronze head that sits upon it, gleams eerily above what appears to be the worn, resigned expression of an ancient being.
