Artist Zheng Lu’s Water in Dripping series of sculptures are composed of text from the renowned Tang dynasty poet Bai Juyi’s Appreciation of Still Water. By using characters from texts of historical significance, he also draws on the custom of apprentices copying masters’ works yet pushes this idea further by introducing new interpretations and possibilities.

The extending “drip” that was broken off the stainless steel sculpture by Zheng Lu was reattached by welding it back into place, using multiple photos as a guide. Additional grinding and polishing was done to create the sculpture’s original look.
