In the combined name of "Sky Nine Earth Eight" series, forms of mathematical and geographical combination like "Sky Nine" and "Earth Eight" just indicate the lucky chance of life. The intensification of Chinese characters symbolization in this series of work shows the obvious Chinese cultural complexities. These common and daily life signs emphasize the work' s pertinence and critiques towards reality and the real feeling about the present life. When these unitary works were presented in front of public in the way of Installation Art, they made up of the conversational relationship between the public. These works thus transformed from the shape of personal concept into the shape of social concept, and therefore became a public art modality.
