A scaled model of Beijing’s Central business district complemented by a bed of rice by Jie. Photo Credit- http://www.netsvictoria.org.au/zhou-jie Zhou Jie was born 1986 in Hunan China and studied at the China Central Academy of Fine Arts where she specialized in sculpture. Jie chooses to use ceramic materials because she considers fired clay to be the most representative material of her country (China). She uses porcelain specifically for its fragile qualities and makes a comparison to the fragility of life and civilization. Porcelian is a symbol of China how fragile civilizations are. Jie’s work illustrates the balanced tension between nature and man and she see’s humans and urban sprawl as a plague. The growths on the buildings are her impressions of viruses and bacteria. This piece is a scaled model of Beijing’s Central business district complemented by a bed of rice, yet another symbol of China.
