Work Statement: The title of the work invokes Lao Tzu’s Taoist philosophy. The artists design five elephantine sculptures in abstract and simple forms and aligning them in a procession. The group sculptures can be seen as an interpretation of the ethics and morality found in the Five Elements of China (metal, wood, water, fire, earth).
