Entry Description

The project tries to present the imagery of the magnificent Milky Way, through extracting and expressing Wuhan's landscape in an abstract, artistic manner and drawing on the romantic poetry of the name of "Optics Valley" where it sits. The overall sculpture spans 90 meters with a height of 40 meters, producing a magnificent volume. The undulating structural form symbolizes the mountain and water landscape of Wuhan, and the 3 prominent, vigorous curves represent the three towns of the city.
