Ai Weiwei’s “Jointed Stool” (2006) is a sculpture consisting of several traditional Chinese stools arranged in a unique, interlocking formation. The artist is known for incorporating everyday objects in his artwork, challenging traditional notions of art and provoking political commentary. "Jointed Stool" exemplifies Weiwei’s exploration of social and political themes through the lens of everyday objects, creating a visually striking and thought-provoking piece.
