About the artwork

Xie Ai Ge creates the outline for her ‘lead’, a sculpture part of her “Tree Top” series. In this work reminiscent of the artist’s own childhood, she etches two figures, one boy and one girl, balanced on a black rock as their playful push and pull allows them to remain perfectly in sync. This whimsical work reminds the viewer of children’s banter, while asking them to ponder the balance between yin and yang and the natural order of the universe.
