Ssunflower art

What this man did was amazing he had 100 million porcelain sunflower seeds made. Every seed is individually made and is completely unique from the others. So the piece is actually made up of 100 million smaller art works. The amazing amount of time and effort that must have gone into this is astounding.
I think that this embodies China perfectly. For a nation that produces just about everything and in large quantities it seems only right that they produce this as well. The piece shows the new China as it is today. The abundance of the seeds to me represents the abundance of production goods that are made in China. The fact that it was hand made shows the manpower that the country has to spare and how they can do anything with sheer willingness and man power. The other side to the piece is the cultural aspect, the fact that it is made out of porcelain shows the culture of China because they were the first to have it. Why do you think its called China? other than that if you read the article it says that at one point the Chinese economy was producing vast amounts of sunflower seeds, this give us a peak at their heritage.The best part of the whole thing is the "Made in China phenomenon" because to be honest just about everything is made in China these days, and if it isn't its really expensive.
So at the end this piece of art is the embodiment of what we know as China.
