Liang extends his interest in the pyramid form with Fluorescence. To create this work, Liang collaborated with scientific researchers to genetically engineer silkworms capable of spinning biofluorescent silk—the result of a natural protein that glows under specific lighting. Fluorescence is composed of a clear pyramid filled with these special cocoons. Radiating a mysterious green light and reminiscent of something from science fiction, the work is at once technologically advanced while retaining a sense of the archaic, seamlessly merging ancient and contemporary through an integration of art, nature and science.
