House of Dream

Public Art for CHINA ACADEMY OF ART

This sculpture is located in ShenZhen, China. Due to the rapid development of many Chinese cities, the design of many residential buildings looks quite similar. People's understanding of home is no longer what it used to be, and the buildings in communities are monotonous rather than diversified. In terms of this sculpture, it would like to animate the space and remind people of their memories of home using lighting. From the visual sense to the spiritual exploration, people can feel the warmth from the old houses and create a poetic dwelling.
