MOTORBIKE HELMET WITH A RED BOW | CHINA
WU PUHUI
CHINA
Forest fires in Chongqing brought Wu Puhui face to face with the climate crisis. It inspired her to rescue stranded villagers with her trail bike and solidified her faith in community.
In the heart of a wild fire crisis, a drone's image of a hillside lit up in the Mandarin character '人', symbolising people, embodies unity and resilience. Comrades became family, providing unwavering support and igniting hope in Wu Puhui to continue the trail bike rescue operation. The red ribbon she wore on her helmet, a testament to camaraderie, signifies trust in a better tomorrow and the power of community. For Wu Puhui, the fire crisis has not dampened her spirit or optimism for better times ahead. The dream of green mountains, clear water, fresh air, and a pristine homeland endures.
OBJECT OF MEMORY
Wu Puhui’s object of memory is the bright red ribbon that she wore on her helmet throughout the rescue mission. To her, the ribbon represents feminine power, and it accompanied and empowered her during the entire rescue mission on the hills.
Upon the experience of the wild fire, the ribbon has grown into a symbol that reminds Puhui of her first time witnessing such power of ordinary people coming together to help each other out in a crisis. It has remained a symbol of hope for the future and faith in the community. Puhui has kept the ribbon close ever since, reminding her to stay true to her intentions and to believe that everything will work out in the end.
