Yang Jing ’s art…

The lucky one, 2004
“…I wanted to make the dolls’ postures look really affected. At that time I was really into lavish European decor, like the pre-revolution French style, just before the collapse – incredibly lavish and decadent.
I was obsessed with their gaudily colored joints. They symbolize innocence, hopelessness, existence without aspirations.”

“existence without aspirations” … Interesting choice of words. Pretty much sums up how a lot of people live their lives today, too.
