The Tulip Pyramid is a 17th-century Dutch invention. However, its form, its motifs and its material imitate Chinese porcelain and pagoda.

Jin He began this project to continue the process of replicating and transforming, which is the history of Tulip Pyramid. In this work she explores the questions of 'creativity in copying' and the question of 'identity'.
