I choose this piece by Ai Weiwei, "Forever Bicycle" because I found it intriguing how he placed each of the bikes in different positions and they all form to make a large circle. He designed this in 2003, and the inspiration was from the irony behind the use of transportation. All 43 of the bikes are from the brand, Forever, which were popular in big cities, but seem to be disappearing overtime and replaced with cars. I think Ai Weiwei is trying to send a message and try bring us back to how it used to be. I find this piece very eye appealing.
