Ai Weiwei has always been critical of Chinese politics. A couple weeks ago the government demolished his beautiful studio(studio shown in first image). You can read all about it here.
this is such a terrible act of violence on this wonderful artist. however when i saw the photo before reading the text i thought this was another magnificent piece of sculpture by ai weiwei ,ironic!!
