Passage - Tsinghua University, Beijing (T-11-10)

April 2011. Granite, steel. Dimensions: 7 × 16 × 10 ft.

Commissioned by Tsinghua University, Beijing, China, in celebration of the University's 100th Anniversary.

Passage (2011) was commissioned to commemorate the centennial of Tsinghua University, one of China's leading institutions for art, architecture, science, and engineering. The sculpture speaks of movement, transformation, and connection. Balancing the enduring strength of granite with a soaring, plunging steel vessel form, it invites viewers to reflect on both the physical act of passage through space and the intellectual and personal journeys that shape university life—and, more broadly, the human experience.
