“A candle in China symbolizes the life of an individual; beyond the symbolic meaning, this simple material of very common use can be found everywhere and for this reason Chen Zhen chose it. Everybody can build his own house of dreams and hope. The work gives a poetic vision but also raises more complex issues: equality, community, tolerance and mutual understanding, coexistence, a dialogue without frontiers.”
