Description
The "Roots" series is made of cast iron with brown rust. These works are made from large tree roots collected during the artist's research and production in Brazil. Working with local artisans and communities, the roots were carefully molded by replicating the forms of collcted tree roots, assembled, and cast into bold, striking forms that reflect their Brazilian context. （source: https://www.lissongallery.com/exhibitions/ai-weiwei-roots) (Zhuocheng Jiang '26)
