Description
This work is majorly comprised of a vast metal device whose design emulates human body components (feet, for example). Several light bulbs are installed on the metal structure. In the center of the device, an illuminated flask transmit -- drop -- water into a human-mouth model underneath. The water delivered to the "mouth" then would recycle back to the flask through the metal structure. Surrounding the metal skeletal device are a few seats made from beer bottles. The fruition of this work was after GU De Xin declared his leave from the art realm; the work is therefore, as GU said himself, "not relevant to him".
