The raised middle finger is a recurring motif in Ai Weiwei’s work. His artworks encourage a critical questioning of governments, institutions, and structures of power. By presenting his middle finger in the provocative “flipping the bird” gesture in front of global symbols of authority, Ai Weiwei makes his rejection of any form of oppression against human freedom unmistakably clear. Through this gesture, Weiwei emphasizes social responsibility and the importance of standing up for one’s own values rather than those imposed by others.
