Hua is inspired by the glorious Yuejin Lantern Festival. With organic floral patterns and shapes, it is portrayed in vibrant colours, exploding outwards and creating a cheerful atmosphere of the spring blossom. It symbolises the historical background of old Yuejin and its prosperous life. Using 3D carvings, Hua is interwoven into an abstract botanical cloud. In the daytime, the colours are bright and vivid; as night falls, the work takes on a different appearance as its fluorescent colours glow and shimmer in the dark. It is like a huge, surreal and mysterious object that is landed from the outer space.
