Tango

Tango

Changning District. Shanghai, China, 2011

The Tango depicts two bodies expressively and sensually dancing together in a closed position. The bronze pepper sculptures dance with a seemingly austere elegance—exuding exuberance, untapped potential energy, and a playfulness that celebrates the joy of being oneself.

Arousing and stimulating, the performance of the chilies is cathartic, pulsating with an explosive intensity. Accentuated by the chili’s signature red hue, Tango evokes the physical, the earthly, and the bodily.
