When a large number of Greek refugees came, I couldn’t help but reflect on Greek mythology and the plight of the land that used to shine with divinity, and thus created The Aegean Sea: the prow of a broken iron ship was stranded on a sandy reef, white feathers were scattered all around, and the silk scroll hanging at the end of the iron piece was like a relic of the gown of the goddess of victory, or the white gauze falling from the refugees...
This is a story of waiting: waiting for the return of divinity, the light of humanity, waiting for the return of the Goddess of Victory! And silk - the thread of human destiny stretches out in waiting...
—Liang Shaoji
In the sand stranded a rusty boat covered with silk. Pieces of silk garment and feather are scattered aside. Liang employs the statue of Nike (goddess of victory in Greek mythology) standing on a boat to rethink the refugee crisis and poses a question to the place where is the cradle of western civilisation.
