Scaffolding, metal wire
Year: 2024This installation reflects my relationship with the abandoned scaffolding I found in my hometown of Tangshan, an industrial city defined by steel and heavy industry. Tangshan’s industrial legacy, now fading, is embodied in these rusted, heavy materials. The scaffolding, once a support structure for something monumental, now serves as the foundation for a new form.
Repurposing these remnants, I explore the quiet beauty of discarded materials, reflecting on their past life and present meaning. The work bridges the memory of a flourishing industrial city and its decline, suggesting a transformation of the harsh, rigid structures into something more intimate and dynamic. Through the reuse of these materials, I consider the weight of history and the potential for reinvention, giving new life to what has been left behind.
