This sculpture served as a central public artwork for the 2008 Beijing Olympics. It depicts five young female figures in motion, each dressed in one of the five Olympic colors, collectively carrying the Olympic torch forward.
The figures represent the five continents, visualizing the relay of the Olympic flame as a shared human journey rather than a single heroic act. Their forward-running posture emphasizes continuity, transmission, and collective momentum.
Rather than monumental stillness, the work adopts a dynamic, process-oriented composition, framing the Olympic spirit as movement—passed from body to body, place to place—across cultures and geographies.
这座雕塑是 2008 年北京奥运会的核心公共艺术作品。 作品刻画了五位姿态灵动的年轻女性形象，她们分别身着奥运五环五种色彩的服饰，合力向前托举奥运火炬。 这五个人物象征五大洲，以视觉形式诠释奥运圣火传递是全人类共同的征程，而非单人的英雄壮举。她们向前奔跑的姿态，凸显传承、延续与集体力量。 这件作品摒弃纪念碑式的静态塑造，采用充满动感、侧重过程的构图，将奥林匹克精神诠释为一种流动的传递 —— 火炬在人与人、地域与地域之间流转，跨越不同文明与疆土。
