Description
Forever Bicycles is an installation consisting of more than 1000 interconnected bicycles arranged in overlapping layers. The repeated bicycle frames and wheels form overlapping circular patterns, creating different visual arrangements depending on the viewer's position. The word "Forever" in the title could refer to the Chinese bicycle brand "Forever", which was one of the most widely used bicycle brands in China during the late 20th century. As urban transportation in China gradually shifted from bicycles to cars, the word "Forever" in the title also creates a contrast with this transformation in transportation.
