'The autumn sound of the courtyard falling jujube red, pick up the spinning play children'.
Song Dynasty children's toys carry the weight of history even though they are not used as a language or a script. Inspired by the Song dynasty's infant play paintings and their toy elements, the work uses contemporary jewellery and goldsmithing as its medium, and metal forging as its craft technique, to create a geometric interactive playground.

The 9th edition of the New Talents Award by Klimt02 aims to recognize the work of graduate students in our field by supporting their careers in the professional world. Nominated by our school members, one of the selected graduates will win the New Talents Award.
Li Ziqi has observed and studied traditional Chinese culture from his unique perspective, and found his own expression context in People's Daily life in classic paintings. He takes the toy elements in 'Qiuting Baby scene' as his creation object, and reconstructs the multiple possibilities of toy elements in artistic creation under the contemporary cultural context.
