About Flowers And Butterflies Are Dancing Escultura de Arte Pública

"Flores e Borboletas Estão a Dançar" é uma escultura de arte pública instalada numa grande praça em Taichung, Taiwan. A obra é feita em aço inoxidável resistente a ácidos, soldado sem emendas e polido, sendo iluminada por luzes RGB. As superfícies espelhadas e foscas refletem o céu, as plantas e a luz em constante mudança, fazendo com que a escultura se funda com a paisagem. As formas abertas permitem a passagem do vento e reduzem a resistência aerodinâmica. Os contornos evocam o lírio de Formosa e as borboletas. A escultura mede 1400 por 1100 por 650 centímetros e foi montada no local a partir de doze peças.
