In Wind Chime–Mammoth, the ancient and enigmatic image of the mammoth is resurrected by industrial sand casting using raw aluminum. During this process, the high-temperature liquid aluminum vaporizes the 3D polystyrene skeleton buried in the sand, leaving behind an aluminum skeleton that retains the texture of the sand, mimicking the formation of fossils. With the skeleton reconstructed by metal supports, the structure of the work references how museums connect fossilized bones with metal frameworks.

As a prehistoric giant, the mammoth is a symbolization of both power and grandeur, while alluding to the fragility of nature and human exploitation. On the other hand, the wind chimes that suspend in the air take the form of hunting spear’s, as if they are ancient relics unearthed alongside the mammoth’s skeleton -the very weapons that led to the beast’s downfall. As they sway in the wind, the clinking whispers tales of the complex and profound relationship between humanity and nature across the lce Age to the industrial Age. The image of the mammoth not only awakens ancient memories but also provokes reflection on the advancement of human technology and the destruction of nature. The contrast between the lightness of wind chimes and the heaviness of the mammoth highlights the resonance and transition between fragility and grandeur, between the past and the future, through their repeated oscillations.
