Blessing from the Sea

The white church represents the carrier of faith, and the strong wind represents the social environment. In the present society, information is becoming more and more transparent and diverse, but people's beliefs are becoming more and more vague and uncertain, and it is easier and easier to forget their original intentions and their own hearts. The wind wears away the church slowly, just like the scene of the farewell ceremony, the faith is disappearing and forgotten gradually.

Pulse

Pulse visualizes the emotional states of immigrants when they enter a new realm. It appears to be still, yet sometimes beats harshly and sometimes expresses slowly. Migrating to a new environment has all kinds of feelings, including hope, excitement, nervousness, fear, and joy. There are many to expect during the process, difficulties to deal with, and challenges to face. These emotional waves are critical elements of a new journey, yet unable to share with new neighbors.

Glacier Lament

Glaciers are sentinels of climate change. They are the most visible evidence of global warming today. There are four color cards in Pantone for glacier blue. However, in real glaciers, this blue color is variable and dynamic. As glaciers are disappearing, this unique blue is also disappearing. Designers sampled and blended the blue color from glaciers in Alaska and hung them in recycled glass vials. When one glacier calving happened, one color vial fell down. At the end of the exhibition, all 60 vials fell down, forming a painting on the canvas beneath.
