Artist creates a paper trail to the imagination

As well as water, Wen keeps trying to combine paper with various media to create fantastic works of visual art.

In Aurora, an interactive paper installation in collaboration with CT Lab, a design company in Guangzhou, the artist has created a forest made of paper in a dark room. When a visitor goes into the installation and touches the top of a tree, the tree lights up. When many visitors do so, the whole forest becomes a light show.

"Through the artwork, I try to raise public awareness of environmental protection. It indicates that we can protect the environment in daily life, such as ordering food delivery less and choosing reusable over single use. If everyone does so, it will make a difference," Wen explains.
