Zhu Jhinsu - suspended boat of 8000 rice paper sheets on bamboo

jinshi-4
"Constructed from 8,000 sheets of rice paper, 800 bamboo shafts, and suspended by untold lengths of cotton thread, this beautiful installation by Chinese abstract artist Zhu Jinshi was recently on display at ART13 London. Titled Boat, the piece is meant as a sort of metaphor regarding the artist’s journey from east to west, while simultaneously honoring the dead’s passage from living into the afterlife."

Like combination of soft and ethereal materials. Really interesting shape and size that they manage to suspend.
