Roses communicates the artist's unique interpretations on love by incorporating broad historical issues into the discussions of human affections.

If the Motherland series regarded as discussions on humanity and history, the collection of Clouds would be the review on life, in which the artist uses highly expressive art forms to explain karma and unpredictability of life. Five sets of Clouds were displayed at 54th Venice Biennale, one set was successfully making a new auction record price among Chinese sculptors at Poly auction. The other four sets will be included in this exhibition, which will be thee first large-scale exhibition held in China since the 54th Venice Biennale. The tranquility and sorrow seen in Motherland can also be seen in Roses and Clouds. Though the show, visitors will get deeper into the spiritual aspects of Cai's works and his familiarity and control on various creation approaches and appreciate the beauty of his works and the charisma of himself.
