Ai Wei Wei is a Chinese contemporary artist and activist that is known all over the world for his creative works. Wei Wei works in sculpture, installation, architecture, curation, photography, film, and social, political and cultural crafts.  His creations are located all over the world.

What I like most about Wei Wei’s art is the use of everyday objects to make an abstract overall design. I think it is really cool how he is able to put these creations together.

Ai Weiwei is the most famous Chinese artist living today. As an activist, he calls attention to human rights violations on a tremendous scale; as an artist, he expands the definition of art to include new forms of social engagement.

I am from Long Island New York and work as a personal trainer/ audio engineer/recording artist. I have done part time work for Atlantic records as an A&R. I belong to Theta Chi Fraternity at UT and came here mostly because of the warm weather. I enjoy helping others and always willing to learn/try new things. I have been in many situations from which I have gained experience that has helped me out a great deal in life. I am a very hard worker and learn quickly when given assistance. As I continue my journey towards graduating from the University of Tampa I hope to keep achieving the goals I set for myself. I will always strive to be the best version of myself even if that means making sacrifices when necessary.
