About Flowers And Butterflies Are Dancing Sculpture d'art public

« Fleurs et papillons dansent » est une sculpture d'art public installée sur une vaste place à Taichung, à Taïwan. L'œuvre est réalisée en acier inoxydable résistant aux acides, soudé sans raccord apparent puis poli, et mise en lumière par un éclairage RVB. Les surfaces miroitantes et mates reflètent le ciel, la végétation et les variations de la lumière, si bien que la sculpture se fond dans le paysage. Ses formes ajourées laissent passer le vent et réduisent la prise au vent. Les silhouettes évoquent le lis de Formose et des papillons. La sculpture mesure 1400 x 1100 x 650 centimètres et a été assemblée sur site à partir de douze éléments.
