The Design

About Dance with Life L’Art Public

Il s'agit d'une œuvre d'art public en acier inoxydable. Il est installé au centre d'un plan d'eau dans un espace public. Le corps principal est composé de deux symboles mathématiques de l’infini entrelacés. La forme générale est combinée à une structure entraînée par le vent. Il apparaît généralement dans un état statique, mais lorsque le vent est supérieur à la résistance structurelle, il entraîne le dispositif entraîné par le vent à tourner librement. L’œuvre symbolise la liberté infinie d’exploration de la vie et véhicule une vision positive et pleine d’espoir.

Inspiration: Inspired by the ∞, the symbol of infinity in mathematics is ∞, which comes from the Latin infinitas, which means no boundary. This work takes it as the core, and uses bright stainless steel to construct a smooth and A shape with a sense of visual penetration.In order to enhance the overall details and aesthetic feeling, a group of golden wind-moving structures that can rotate naturally under the drive of the wind are set up by using the gap generated in the center of the two interlaced structures, conveying the spiritual symbol of the endless cycle of life.
Project Duration: The project started in March 2022 and finished with installation in Taichung,Taiwan in October 2022
Operation Flow: The installation position of the sculpture is at the center point of the main moving line. Visitors can interact and approach work from all directions. It is a popular object for photographers and tourists.
