Entry Description

The design intention of this work was to create a "landmark" in the park, to counter and mitigate the oppressive feeling and visual abruptness of the large property development.The original plan was to set a matrix of erecting columns to create the highest point in the park, so as to confront the tower buildings of the property development in the distance. The square matrix consists of 9 hollow columns.
The introduction of the matrix of columns creates a strong, surreal scene of vines freely growing upwards, which blurs the real and the virtual.
