By integrating traditional Chinese philosophy and modern design language, the designer incorporates the essence of ancient Chinese philosophical thought, specifically Taoism's concept of the "Three creats all thing." This art installation is meticulously crafted within a transparent, lofty space, providing a spiritual ambiance that is neither vacant nor overwhelming, but rather embraces emptiness and tranquility.
Within the expansive expanse, an arrangement of four-color acrylic pieces hangs delicately from a metal mesh frame, supported by fine wires. This presentation evokes a profound sense of emptiness and detachment, akin to a splendid and graceful swimming dragon. The art installation, a harmonious fusion of antiquity and modernity, becomes the central visual focal point within the space.
In both horizontal and vertical directions, as daylight and soft lights gently filter through, a serene atmosphere embraces the surroundings akin to the graceful movement of swimming fish. The layered spatial arrangement becomes distinctly evident, with colors interweaving and evolving, creating a rhythmic dance between space and art, radiating vitality.
While casting our gaze upwards, the installation captivates with its dynamic and vibrant display. The designer ingeniously employs the Arabic numeral "3" as a prominent motif, effectively conveying the intended theme. By employing a free design language, traditional culture finds expression in a contemporary manner. This thoughtful approach ensures that the fluidity of the space is fully accentuated by the artistic installation.
From the Tao, all things arise, and to the Tao, all beings eventually return, perpetuating a cycle of renewal. In the absence of wind, the four-color fish gracefully meander and sway, assuming diverse postures amidst the shifting scenery. They resemble strokes of a brush, inscribing the landscape with a sense of grandeur and expansiveness, imbuing even the sturdiest hills with a lighter and more vibrant essence.
From our midst or as observers, the essence of ancient culture intertwines like a delicate silk thread, weaving and interconnecting with the fabric of contemporary life. Moreover, we, as a collective of individuals, contribute to the formation of a distinct and profoundly unique space that exists at the intersection of history and the present moment.
