This mirror stainless steel tree statue is called people tree which is carrying the most simple dreams of ordinary people designed by a world well-known artist.
The whole people tree is 7.63m high, in form of a giant banyan tree with a lot of aerial roots made by shiny stainless steel 316L. Thousands of utensils appear and uniform distributed on the branches and aerial roots has profound meaning. This is also the origin of the artist's design concept, “When I was in school, stainless steel was so desirable; to eat on it at an uncle’s house was the height of luxury.” Even though this is no longer the case, but at that time the most common stainless steel utensils have become a luxury for ordinary families. Thus, the achieved high polished stainless steel tree statue is not only a reliving of the artist's childhood dream but also means that people are getting richer and richer.
It is not the first stainless steel people tree statue the artist has done, but it is the unique one that goes to Paris first to attend the temporary exhibition at the Monnaie de Paris, and then collected by the Donum Estate at Sonoma, CA.
