This project revolves around the concept of “bamboo weaving". Sun Yue extended her imagination originating form the orderly layered weaving process. The twists and mutual supports of bamboo strips contexture a stable structure though still remaining relatively independency, as if the boundless universe is formed by the weaving of thousands of planets’ orbits through time and space, and also as a metaphor of every individual performing its own part in this modern society. 

Sun Yue tried to set up this dialectical interconnection by choreograph a small unit of clay experimentation, and transformed this microcosmic interpretation in an abstract way with the touch of sensibility and instinct. Clay is constructed by the primeval method of coli-building, three kinds of clay are intertwined in the process of layering. In the process of building up the structure, the orbits of three bodies of clay are established through time and space. Meanwhile the existence of artist’s body is also recorded within the negative space of the structure existing as the fourth party of the whole sculpture.
