About Pride Of The City Ars Publica

Superbia urbis est ars publica in horto Maple, oasis urbana et parcus oecologicus in urbe Taichung. Exprimit hoc opus imago quattuor avium sursum volantium et varias imagines sistit similes arboribus, floribus, et avibus ex diversis angulis, ut ostendat cyclum quattuor temporum et omnium animantium harmoniam coexistentiam. Haec statuaria publica visitatores ad naturam accedunt et noctes in horto Maple clarescunt.
