Ai Weiwei’s Circle of Animals/Zodiac Heads (Bronze) consists of 12 zodiac head sculptures standing over 10 feet tall and weighing over 1,500 pounds per piece. They are arranged in a semi-circle and in order of the traditional Chinese zodiac cycle: Rat, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Ram, Monkey, Rooster, Dog, and Boar. They can be viewed in an area of the sculpture park just outside of the PACCAR Pavilion.
