Ai Weiwei’s Sunflower Seeds installation, now on display in the Tate Modern’s Turbine Hall in London, is a staggering collection of millions of porcelain sunflower seeds, each hand-crafted by specialists in the Chinese city of Jingdezhen. The installation is a symbol of the people of China, each unique and working together to create a unified whole.
