ZHANG HUAN

BERLIN BUDDHA, NOTHING STANDS AGAINST TIME. THE WORK CONSISTS OF BUDDHA MADE FROM COMPACTED DRY ASH WHICH IS SEATED OPPOSITE THE ALUMINUM MOULD FROM WHICH IT HAS BEEN CAST. AT THE MERCY OF ITS ENVIRONMENT AND WITH NO GLUE TO BIND IT, THE ASH BUDDHA SLOWLY DISINTERGRATES THROUGH TIME. 


                                                                                                                             

MOST OF ZHANG HUAN'S WORK ARE CRAFT WORK. COPPER, STEEL, ALUMINUM, ASH, AND ETC. WERE USED AS THE MATERIALS TO CREATED BEAUTIFUL SCULPTURES. PERSPECTIVE OF CHOSING TO DO THE CRAFTING WORK INSTEAD OF USING DIGITAL TOOLS IS HARD TO FIND THESE DAY, IN THE MODERN WORLD THAT PEOPLE BARELY LET THEIR OWN HANDS TOUCH THE WORK. THE BEST WAY TO REVEAL SENSES OUT OF THE WORK IS TO CRAFT IT ALL UP FROM PURE MATERIALS WITH FULL OF PASSION THROUGH BOTH HANDS.
