Wang Yuyang, however, uses gold to accentuate his mixed feelings about the moon and reflections on what is real or not in Lady Dior Bag, a commissioned Lady Dior bag on show featuring the moon, a recurring motif that Wang has been exploring.
"My longtime interest in the moon dwells on its various imageries in the past and present, East and West — the moon in Chinese mythology and folklore I heard in childhood, with rich cultural connotations delivering a mystic, romantic and poetic feeling, and the scientific revelations of the moon in lunar probe and research, in which I have gained new knowledge after attending school."
He says that contrast — the perceptions of the moon in objective and subject worlds — has led him to question reality.
"In the dark of night, what people know best is the moon that guides them. I gave this moon a new dimension, and it brought out colors of unexpected beauty.
"The Lady Dior may offer you new possibilities but it (the moon) remains the same."
