Through the manip ulation of recycled plastic and miscellaneous trash from daily life\, the artist dilutes or intensifies light to “draw” an ink-like image on gla ss that conveys traditional Chinese reverence for nature while serving as a warning about humans’ ongoing mistreatment of the environment.\n\nCurr ently serving as a A.D.
