Jiang Sheng, born in 1990 to an art family in Xiamen, has been dedicated to exploring and practicing Eastern sculpture and craftsmanship. Over the past decade, he has visited many sacred Buddhist sites, where the fusion of Buddhist relics and local customs has created a unique aesthetic that has greatly inspired his work.

The exhibition is divided into four sections: Excavation, Creation, Symbols, and Medium. Jiang's works convey faith and strength through the language of modern sculpture. His statues give Buddha a "human body," allowing the audience to feel a sense of connection.
The exhibition runs until October 13.
