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
