Web of Love (2019), an exhibition by esteemed  Jack Wu (Zhipeng Wu) is currently on display in QPAC Ground Floor Foyer in Q1 2023.

The Web of Love series of works was inspired by Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet and Liang Shanbo and Zhou Yingtai, a Chinese classic love story. Though the plots and contents are different they are both odes to the persuit of freedom and love. The two sparkling pieces of glass dancing in the delecate web simulate what Shakespeare wrote:

                “A lover may bestride the gossamer

                That idles in the wanton summer air,

                 And yet not fall, so light is vanity.”

Romeo & Juliet, Act 2, Scene 6, lines 18 -20
