The Legend of the Phoenix｜Kaohsiung Metro

The phoenix, spiraling in the sky, lands lightly on the ground. Its symbolic meaning reflects the legend of Fengshan. The stainless pipes correspond to the steel and glass designs at the entrance of the metro. The simple and flowing lines resemble Chinese calligraphy, reflecting oriental scenes and cultural icons; however, it also adds a touch of warmth to the cold feeling of metal and glass. This work can produce beautiful sound of maracas while interacting with travelers on the spot. Like singing and dancing with the phoenix, it encloses the distance between citizens and artworks. This three dimensional design presents beauty that can be appreciated from various angles. The phoenix has landed at the entrance and will soar into the sky from the exit. It brings good fortune to passengers who are leaving on a journey or returning home. It always leads us in the right direction.
