Goliath has been crafted as part of a collaboration with the artist Ekaterina Bazhenova Yamasaki. The piece has been designed to fold and unfold in a theatrical manner – tracing elements of choreography while engaging with chance and serendipity. Ekaterina used a series of presses, dents and imperfections to both give the vessel a sense of movement and to create something that when viewed from each angle is different.

Unlike many artists who speak loftily about their works, Yang describes himself as merely a storyteller, messenger, and servant to serve others' needs.
