Created in 2009, Sublimation is a large-scale landmark sculpture installed in Changchun, Jilin Province.
The work is organised around a strongly vertical composition. Two stylised deer forms rise from the central structure, while tall supporting elements extend upward toward a large spherical grid at the top.
The sphere is constructed from intersecting metal lines arranged in graduated tones of dark brown, orange, yellow, and white. Its open lattice allows light and sky to pass through the structure, giving the upper section a lighter and more radiant visual presence.
The paired deer create a transitional point between the solid vertical body below and the open sphere above. Through this gradual movement—from weight to openness, and from dark tones to light—the sculpture gives visual form to the idea of sublimation.
Rather than illustrating a specific event, the work uses ascending structure, changing colour, and increasing transparency to express growth, transformation, and upward movement.
The surviving photograph records the sculpture during installation, with scaffolding still surrounding the main structure. It preserves an important stage in the construction of the work before final completion.
《升华》创作于2009年，设置于吉林长春，是一件大型城市地标雕塑。
作品采用强烈的垂直构图。两只经过概括处理的鹿形位于主体上部，高耸的支撑结构继续向上延伸，最终承托起顶部的大型球形网格装置。
球体由相互交叉的金属线条构成，色彩由下部的深褐与橙色，逐渐过渡到黄色和白色。开放的网格使光线与天空能够穿过结构，使雕塑上部呈现出更加轻盈、明亮的视觉状态。
双鹿位于下方坚实体量与上方通透球体之间，成为整件作品形态转换的连接点。雕塑通过由重到轻、由深到浅、由实体到开放的逐层变化，将“升华”转化为一种可以直接感受到的上升过程。
作品没有具体讲述某一事件，而是利用垂直结构、色彩渐变与透明度的变化，表现生长、转化以及不断向上的力量。
现存照片拍摄于作品安装施工阶段，主体周围仍保留脚手架，顶部结构与部分构件尚在调整之中。这张照片记录了雕塑正式完成之前的重要制作过程。
