The Design

About Pride Of The City Openbare Kunst

De trots van de stad is de openbare kunst in Maple Garden, de stedelijke oase en een ecologisch park in Taichung City. Dit werk drukt het beeld uit van vier vogels die omhoog vliegen en presenteert meerdere afbeeldingen die lijken op bomen, bloemen en vogels vanuit verschillende hoeken om de cyclus van vier seizoenen en het harmonieuze samenleven van alle levende wezens te laten zien. Dit openbare beeldhouwwerk leidt de bezoekers naar de natuur en fleurt de nachten in Maple Garden op.
