On the Tip of a Wave: How Ai Weiwei’s Art Is Changing the Tide

Joanna Ho

Joanna Ho uses Ai Weiwei’s Safe Passage installation as the basis for a book about hope and humanitarian concern. The artwork is made from thousands of cast-off life jackets in vivid neon orange that belonged to refugees. Pencil-and-pastel illustrations interpret the installation, and back matter provides additional material. The book conveys the humanitarian message attached to the artwork.
