This art installation is a reflection on the contradictions and conflicts between tradition and modernity. The white shelf resembles a guillotine, symbolising punishment and sacrifice in traditional culture, while the black three-step platform represents technology and progress in modern society. By combining the two, the artist is perhaps trying to express a reflection on whether we have lost sight of the value of traditional culture in the rapid development of modern society, and whether modern technology and progress can really replace the wisdom and value that tradition brings.
