The installation work, as a part of the artist’s balloon series, has been installed since 2011 in a number of domestic and foreign art museum in Beijing, Shanghai, Taipei, and Korea.
The installation of balloons in the shape of a moon made up of hundreds of balloons attempted to simultaneously express the sense of the community as the moon seen together and the utopia that humanity has long admired. It is also a temporary installation work due to the nature of balloons, which is interpreted as an act to contain a finite life.
