Ma sculpts funny little robot people with houses for heads, often with jaunty chimneys poking out of their craniums like oddly shaped hats. These figures' poses look inquisitive, vulnerable, and playful, yet their eyes are disconcertingly empty. According to the gallery, Ma's work is pervaded by his feelings of social anxiety, and the figures are adaptations of the childhood toys he found less stressful than other children.
