The work inscribes the phrase “Made in China” onto the grass in the town of China, Maine, creating a striking juxtaposition between geographic naming and global manufacturing identity.

By situating this ubiquitous label within a landscape that shares its name yet holds no direct connection to Chinese production, the piece exposes the dissonance between symbolic meaning and material reality.

It opens a critical space to reflect on how place, language, and economy intersect, questioning assumptions of origin, authenticity, and the circulation of value across borders.
