Statement
The
work visualizes gruesome reality that Chinese government has been
systematically harvesting organs from live Falungong practitioners
for profit.
The
inhuman practices were exposed by David
Matas and David
Kilgour's
investigation report Bloody Harvest in
2007.
In
2012, this issue again came to light when a Chinese official, who
fled to U.S. Consulate
in Chengdu,
revealed evidences of human rights violations in China, in exchange
for political asylum. However, this topic remains a taboo among
Chinese intellectuals fearing persecution
by the Party. While the country set new regulations prioritizing
organ transplantation operation for domestic patients, demands from
foreigners has driven the 'market' initially and continuously. We
therefore intent to arouse greater awareness within the international
community by visualizing the issue with art.
