A powerful picture book about the life and work of activist and artist, Ai Weiwei. Ai Weiwei felt the life jackets and an idea curled and crested through his fingertips. The way it always did. Told in Joanna Ho's signature lyrical writing, this is the story that shines a light on Ai Weiwei and his journey, specifically how the Life Jackets exhibit at Konzerthaus Berlin came to be. As conditions for refugees worsened, Ai Weiwei was inspired by the discarded life jackets on the shores of Lesbos to create a bold installation that would grab the attention of the world.
