“Here and Now” is a sculptural representation of one of Wu Qiong’s paintings, depicting a couple standing together with a whimsical addition of a seagull atop the male character’s head. The motif of a couple brings to mind a system of support for one facing an unknown future. With an arm slipped around the woman, her partner provides assurance and comfort as they face their obstacles together. Wu Qiong captures an exact moment in time, which may or may not exist in reality as we know it. Rather, he opens the discussion for multifarious possibilities and interpretations—the couple revels in an experience, comes to terms with an issue they will face together, or communes with nature.
