Description
This is a work by Wu created during the period when he emigrated to Austria. This sculpture is a sphere connected to a glass base by brass. The hemisphere is covered with shilling coins melted to form the contours of a facial structure. Suggested by the characteristic use of shilling coins, this work might embody the artist's critique of money worship. (Zhuocheng Jiang '26)
