As conditions for refugees worsened, Ai Weiwei was inspired by the discarded life jackets on the shores of Lesbos to create a bold installation that would grab the attention of the world. Cátia Chien masterfully portrays the intricate life of Ai Weiwei with inspirations from woodblock printing and a special emphasis on the color orange, the same color of the life jackets that became a beacon of hope. Through Cátia’s dynamic and stunning illustrations, we see how Ai Weiwei became the activist and artist he is today while proving the power of art within humanity.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Zibby's Bookshop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67611001127228,"sku":null,"price":18.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0745\/9294\/4444\/files\/A1fmV9Tuw0L._SL1500.jpg?v=1790887298"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0745\/9294\/4444\/collections\/Zibby_s_Santa_Monica_Featured_Authors_4.png?v=1790887488","url":"https:\/\/zibbymedia.com\/collections\/books-illustrated-by-catia-chien.oembed","provider":"Zibby Media","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
