Bryan Derballa posted a few photos of Cai Guo-Qiang ‘s process for creating his piece, “Tree with Yellow Blossoms”, for the STAGES show.

It was captivating to see how the artist and his assistants lay out the gunpowder by hand and then ignite it to make these pictures at small to extra-large scales.
