Like Mixing Tea for Coffee
Created by artist Tsang Cheung Shing of Hong Kong, the sculpture, named Yuanyang II, was created for a pottery exhibition of “YingYeung” — a popular local drink mixture of coffee and tea. This piece is now part of the collections of the Hong Kong Museum of Art and is currently on display at the Central Concourse of Hong Kong International Airport. Yuanyang II is sculpted in a distinctive form of two faces locked in an indulgent kiss; their heads supporting the upturned elegant mugs which have allowed them to escape. The concept of the piece follows the theme of the popular drink, “Yuanyang”, its mixing of coffee and tea a metaphorical representation of love and marriage. [Via moillusions]
