After visiting the Walker I found that the work Heavy Sleepers by Zhao Liang captivated my interest. This work depicted the living conditions of workers in China during a construction project. Looking at this piece it gives the viewer a sense of what real life in this community by the size of the projections and the representation created with layout of the gallery space. The impact of this artwork became significant due to the scale and the panning movement of the camera. Another aspect that evoked emotion was the element of relatable objects to real life. Every object conveyed a personable quality, which made this artwork grasp the viewer emotionally. This artwork impacts me significantly, creating a sense of empathy for what some people must endure through life.
