This sculpture was inspired by the following poem.
Memory of a Past Pure World
I feel sorry for you white paper.
I feel sorry for you white snow.
I feel sorry for you white clouds.
I feel sorry for you white sky.
I feel sorry for you white earth.
I feel sorry for you white people.
I feel sorry for you white birds.
I feel sorry for you white fish.
I feel sorry for you white grass.
I feel sorry for you white colour
a relic, a memory of a past pure world
we have taken from the children of our children
and thrown away.
