Yi Xin Tong is a geologist, fisherman, musician, poet, and artist whose work evokes the paradoxes of contemporary urban life and its fraught relationship with nature. He was born on Lu Mountain (Lushan), a place that is celebrated for its natural beauty, as well as its centuries-old associations with Daoism, Buddhism and Confucianism and as the birthplace of Chinese landscape painting.

Here, he combines clay, resin and other materials to capture the images of figures he obscured wading the water - the reflection of the water creating an elongated figurative form.
