Luminous Island

Luminous Island is a light art exhibition held in Penghu, Taiwan. The theme is the ocean world of Penghu in autumn and winter. Thirteen light art installations are inspired by marine creatures. The lanterns combine fabric with small LED lights, instead of the usual iron and fabric structure. Fiber optics are used to shape a marine kingdom, and mechanical parts allow some lanterns to open and close. Corridors at the entrance and the exit form the feeling of entering and leaving an underwater world. Rust-proof and corrosion-resistant materials protect the lanterns near the sea.

Beehive Fireworks

By day, the form evokes a Qing Dynasty merchant vessel surging through the waves, a frozen moment of splashing spray that crystallizes the harbor's former glory. As night falls, the artwork transforms into soaring Beehive Fireworks, using the interplay of light and shadow to whisper a serene prayer. The piece utilizes reflections on the water to create a symmetrical top down view of the fireworks, while the natural ripples of the water authentically recreate the erratic, crisscrossing dynamism of the pyrotechnics.

Infinite Wave

Infinite Wave is a design that materializes the flows of water and the variation of time in the Yuejin Port of Tainan, Taiwan. The installation takes on varied appearances as day transitions into night, where artificial and natural light cross paths, guiding viewers to perceive changes in both space and time. As moonlight slowly emerges, crimson rays reminiscent of blood permeate the artwork, allowing the contours to come into clarity. By the dead of night, as artificial light spreads across the installation, multidimensional light waves intertwine once again in space.

Skystation

Skystation is an interactive sculpture that also provides some public seating. The contours of the work are designed to fit the reclining human form and encourage contemplation of the sky. The seating it provides is similar to what NASA calls Neutral Body Posture, which is the shape the body returns to when free from the influence of gravity. Skystation creates an opportunity for pause, reflection and interaction within the public realm. It is inspired by the modernist idea of form follows function. It has the incidental effect of making conversations between strangers almost inevitable.
