A sculpture piece shows three human figures standing on the dry river bed; all are wearing clothes made of non-woven polypropylene fabric, commonly used in the garment industry. Instead of sewing each piece traditionally with needle and thread, these fabrics are melted and stuck together by burning the edges of each piece, which reflects fast fashion's pursuit of production speed and its neglect of quality. The dyed water flows down the fabric randomly representing the toxic dye materials discharged casually by garment factories. As sewage continues to flow over the stones, they will gradually be dyed into the sewage colour. At first, the colour change is not obvious. However, when the installation turns off, the colour of the environment becomes much darker as the water dries. This emphasizes the consequences of water pollution, which are not obvious at the beginning, but if people don’t pay attention, they become out of control.
