Love Tower

The artist utilizes a play on words as a way of incorporating distinctiveness into his work. When the characters are flipped about, it is only then that they bring different, unpredictable, and unexpected surprises. The history of Weiwuying gave the artist a powerful sense of vitality and justice. His choice of people, horses, and words as artistic elements and the way they develop into “the rider and the castle” allude to such ideas as the breadth of love and charity. The use of language suggests the giving and sacrifice of love, the acceptance that love has the power to change anything.
