New (2013) represents Guanyin, one of the most revered goddesses in the Chinese Buddhist pantheon. Computer-generated and based on a porcelain figure preserved in the Forbidden City, the work features bright colors that break with traditional white, a metaphor for purity. Transformed by the artist into a kind of ready-made, the sculpture appears to be a symbol of a new pop faith grounded in contemporary society.
