开放的长城纪念砖
Bricks, from the “Open Wall”
作品《开放的长城》呈现了艺术家盛珊珊诸多隽妙的艺术形式创意。长城砖的尺寸，象征着为御敌的最高伟的封闭，而威尼斯玻璃砖又是最玲珑剔透的透明。透明的墙正是今天城市人超越疆界与其他人进行心灵链接的隽妙的感性显现。《开放的长城》能激活观众更丰沛的联想：不仅是城墙打开了，政治隔离的柏林墙也打开了，文化隔阂的精神之墙也被互联网打开。
This piece demonstrates the renovation of the artist in representing its wonderful beauty. The Great Wall, symbolizing the strongest defence against enemies, is constructed with the most delicate and transparent Venetian bricks. A transparent wall is a beautiful and sensible representation of the borderless spiritual link between people in modern cities. Furthermore, the Open Wall may inspire rich imagination of the visitors-the city walls have been opened, and the Berlin Wall has been pushed down, and the spiritual walls of cultural separation have been opened through internet.
