Female artist uses stickers to show pop culture

Her sculpture A Thousand Years of Fragrance on display is made of more than 100 marble bottles of perfume and alcohol.

She has been collecting bottles, especially ones containing scents, for a decade. Her sculptures seek to show personal memories behind perfumes.

The show also displays an installation from Ye's latest series Accumulation of Silence, which has more than 60 rock-shaped cushions placed together.

"We're living in a world bombarded by information. Most of it makes no sense," says Ye.

The series also includes some sticker paintings, which she is still working on. Placing thousands of little pieces on one canvas is usually time-consuming and tedious.

But the process is like meditation for her, she says. Mandala alone took her nearly two months.

"My art centers on the concept of fullness. I hope these popular motifs will let people think about their own lives－and what they really want in a society full of goods," she says.
