Sopheap Pich
#Chrysalis
NINGBO, CHINA
Cambodian
artist Sopheap Pich’s work is a symbol of possibility, new beginnings
and
transformation. The artist draws parallels between nature’s chrysalis and this
new international development. The IFC is a place where many innovative
businesses reside, and a place where ideas incubate, dispersing throughout the
world.
The
twelve metre tall work has been manufactured in hand-formed copper sheet and
is
suspended in a key pedestrian void that connects 4 key levels of the
development. The work, viewed from the spiralling staircase that surrounds it,
or from the elevator as you move past it, contributes to the creation of a
truly dramatic architectural space.
