More than 600 sculptors from 100 countries and regions took part in the third Changchun World Sculpture Conference, which was held in Northeast China's Jilin province, recently.

Artists from around the world expressed their understanding of cultural hybridism through their works. "I found a connection between ancient Latin American and Chinese civilizations," says sculptor Claude Montes from Haiti. "Ancient Chinese and Mayan civilizations created a similar solar calendar; what I am trying to express through my work is the infinity of the universe and eternity in human civilizations," he says.
