Ziwon Wang

Sculpture Ziwon Wang borrows its form from a Korean national treasure, the bronze Maitreya Buddha figure ("Buddha of the Future") from the 6th century Shilla Dynasty. The artist's use of high-technology materials echoes this future orientation - but it is the delicate movement, driven by precise gearing and electronics, that provokes questions about the status of traditional beliefs in today's high-technology society.
