Sunflower Seeds



Ai WeiWei's work entitled "Sunflower Seeds" located in the Turbine Hall at the Tate Modern was very different and took a lot of hard work based on the video we used in class.  The sunflower seeds represent the source of food of the Chinese under Mao.  This piece of work is probably my favorite that we have studied thus far in class.  The sunflower seeds represent the people and the Chinese culture.  Also, the process of creating this exhibit brought work to people that usually would have trouble finding jobs.  The video showed the workers' excitement and hard work ethic.
