The sinuous roof made up of 1,300 timber bamboo poles takes shape above an elevated, ocean-side platform. These bars curve softly from the floor to the sky in a S-shaped form, creating a shelter above an intimate exhibition area. This large bamboo structure is illuminated after sunset, lighting up the arrangement of branches in an array of vibrant hues.
“I have drawn upon years of experience and worked with a team of over 100 art students to realize this artwork,” Sun Xun describes. “I am pleased to see that what I imagined on paper here exactly one year ago has now taken shape.”
