A fusion of traditional auspicious symbolism and contemporary sculptural language.
HULU takes inspiration from the traditional Chinese gourd, a symbol of blessings, prosperity, and good fortune. Through a contemporary artistic approach, the work reimagines the classic calabash form by combining it with hoodie-clad figures of a father and son, creating a visual dialogue about family, growth, and cultural memory.
The work reflects the emotional bond between parent and child, while also tracing the spiritual journey of the post-80s generation — from youthful rebellion to maturity and responsibility. By merging street-inspired visual language with traditional auspicious symbolism, HULU becomes a point of collision and connection between popular culture and traditional culture.
Presented in a vivid red tone, the sculpture carries a strong sense of vitality, warmth, and auspicious meaning. Its bold sculptural form gives it a distinctive visual presence, making it suitable both as an art collectible and as a statement piece for interior display.
