'Eternity' is one of the most representative series of XU ZHEN®️. XU ZHEN® recreates and reassembles iconic sculptures from Western and Eastern art history, creating a visual effect more shocking than the "aesthetic of rusticated classical sculpture" to which audiences are accustomed. The elegant head of a muse as conceived by the modern master sculptor Brancusi is paired with the rusticated painted terracotta statue from the Tang Dynasty. The spherical head with its symbolism of integration and fusion is set in contrast to the concept of majestic willpower in traditional eastern culture.
