What impresses him most is Zou's four-piece set, Chanrao (entanglement), with one housed in the collection of the British Museum and another on display at the exhibition. Inspired by her photographs of bare winter branches, Zou translated them into vibrant, tangled webs of color using the didi stitch.

"Each vine is like humanity, needing mutual care," she interprets. "An interdependent entanglement, just as we depend on Earth."
