Description
Oil Spills is an installation created by Ai Weiwei in 2006. The work consists of several smooth, black porcelain pieces scattered across the floor, resembling pools of spilled oil. These pieces were made in Jingdezhen, China, using traditional porcelain making techniques. By using porcelain, a traditional Chinese craft material, to represent modern industrial pollution, Ai creates a contrast between traditional art and industrial pollutions.
