Bai Yiluo combines popular culture with classic photography or traditional sculpture techniques to depict the cyclical struggle of humanity, better known as the "human condition." In his series, "Civilization," Yiluo constructed classical terracotta busts of emperors and slaves, pierced with agricultural tools. The busts are thus defined by, and connected through, their transfixed objects. The installation is meant to reference both Eastern and Western spiritualism, as well as the revolution, conflict, and rebirth often associated with violence.
