The Son of The Earth🌎

This giant 3D baby sculpture is an artwork hidden in the middle of the Gobi Desert in Dunhuang, China. Made by Professor Dong Shubing, the director of the Sculpture at Tsinghua University, the artwork carries the hope that mankind can interact with the environment in a harmonious way, just as the baby sleeps tenderly amongst the sandy horizon. Because of its grand size, many also interpret the child as a showcase of the greatness of maternal love. Standing next to this masterpiece, I was captivated by the unorthodox expression of human creativity. The baby pushed me to reflect deeply on my own life and my interaction with nature, because like any art work, this sculpture contained the power to elevate us to mentally, spiritually, and physically. 📍Dunhuang, Gansu, China #celebratewithtrip #awesomepic #2023travelwish #china #desert
