Located in the Dayun Tower of the Yangzhou China Grand Canal Museum, the architectural installation "Searching for Plum Blossoms in Snow" symbolizes the solitude of traditional Chinese literati in their artistic explorations and continues contemporary spatial design and material innovation.
Comprising 33,000 acrylic resin rods spanning 64,000 meters, this installation forms a dynamic structure based on the flexibility and fortuitous power of the material, inspired by trees taking root and growing into a robust system. On this foundation, the xuan paper is applied to the "branches," imparting a unique spatial experience and evoking a flowering plum forest in snow.
With handcrafted plum blossoms highlighting the dialogue between traditional craftsmanship and modern industrial processes, this installation offers visitors a unique cultural perspective. The interplay of pure materials and complex forms reflects ambient light, resonating with its environment and time.
Bridging modern materials and traditional Chinese artistry, this work fuses Eastern aesthetics with contemporary architecture, exploring the infinite possibilities of modern materials.
