About “The Line of Love Sculpture” Series

Lines and dots are creations of art.
The line is life and the line is love.
The dots are both you and me.
Between the dots is where our love connects.

This specific series titled “The Line of Love Sculpture Series” communicates, through the light of humanity, true love. The creative topic deals with all kinds of love -- motherly, between friends, or romantic. Starting from a solitary life to the establishment of a family, the pieces combine to communicate the deepest emotions and the unbreakable ties of loving hearts.

I have spent many years designing this series. About two hundreds pieces have already been completed; they are designed for public art landscape sculptures. It may be created with bronze, aluminum, or stainless steel in order to complement the size of the display area. Now it is time to find a city to plan for this sculpture garden.

The Line of Love Sculpture Series can be marked as my most complete project and one that contains the most numerous designs. This series was exhibited at Taipa Houses Museum in Macau in 2006. Four pieces of my work have been selected for the 2008 Olympic Landscape Sculpture Design in Beijing.

I hope that eventually one day this complete series will be arranged in a beautiful garden or public park called The Line of Love Sculpture Garden which will bring people from different places together.
Sponsors and commission work are welcome.
