When I was in MoMa I saw a couple of pictures of Ai WeiWei from the serie 'The Study of Perspective ' (1995-2003) and he inspired me. At first I had to laugh because of the middle finger to the world. But it is more than that, Ai shows his middle finger to some of the world's most notable man-made landmarks, from the White House to the painting of Mona Lisa. But there is also a powerful protestation behind the gesture, a rejection of the power held by culture and politics and a rebellion against authority.
