The work, Umbrella, originates from a poignant line of the artist's own poetry: "I was holding an umbrella for myself, but my heart was already soaked."
It captures a state of mind where one feels inwardly soaked in emotion, even while maintaining an outward appearance of protection. The artist hopes this piece resonates with viewers who have also felt this kind of deep, inner loneliness.
A larger 3.6-meter-high version of this sculpture is located in China.
