New York-based, Chinese-born artist Cai Guo-Qiang’s\u00a0The Ninth Wave<\/em>\u00a0features a weathered fishing boat from Cai\u2019s hometown of Quanzhou carrying 99 fabricated animals onboard. Artificial pandas, tigers, camels, and other beasts cling to the worn ship, appearing weary and seasick. Cai\u2019s work highlights Earth\u2019s current environmental and ecological crisis, as evidenced by high levels of smog in the air, as well as the incident of 16,000 dead pigs floating down the Huangpu River\u00a0last year. The artist’s work is a shocking exploration of the challenge that humans face in regards to our planet. (source<\/a>).<\/p>\n
