This work is directly inspired by the hand-made lights hanging outside the «chuan» (kebab on sticks) restaurants. After observing these lights all over the streets of Beijing, we decided to buy the same material and make them ourselves. We made them into shapes of everyday objects, our own figures or things that we saw in and around the city of Beijing (a smiley face, a bottle gourd, a wall of bricks and a paint roller).
