Water in Dripping - Billows, an installation by Zheng Lu displayed at Museum of Contemporary Art in Taipei.

"I find water reflects Oriental feelings. It's like Chinese characters whose meanings are often extended to be used as metaphors."

In his Water series he merges verses from Wan Zhi Shui with sculpture installations of beautiful sprays.

Zheng has also attempted to overcome the physical limitations of water in his creative work.

PWM Controller and Known Circle are two mixed-media works on display, which can be seen as a pair looking at the possibilities of space, says Zheng.

In PWM Controller, he uses digital coding to create artificial rainfall indoors.

The rain generated by the pumps suspended in midair fall on several groups of stainless-steel keyboards on the ground, creating rhythmic sounds.

The ripples created by the rain on the collected water are then recorded, and the images are projected by four projectors on Known Circle, a resin model of a globe suspended in midair.
