Ai Weiwei's *Stool* is a meticulously hand-sculpted porcelain rendering of a traditional Chinese wooden stool, made using centuries-old ceramic techniques in the renowned pottery city of Jingdezhen. The work transforms a humble, everyday object into a refined and enduring artifact, blurring the boundary between the functional and the artistic. Through this material translation, Weiwei invites reflection on Chinese cultural heritage, craft tradition, and the tension between the ordinary and the monumental.
