Light in the Firmament

The purpose of the design is to recall the spirit of reclamation of our ancestors. The warm spotlights, splendid colors and clear images all unveil the epic story of their hardship in Fengshan. From the “Love of Universe” installed in the work center, the tree of life rises like a flying dragon, symbolizing the eternal endeavors of mankind. The power of the Ocean, Sun, Moon and Land extends from the flowers to the firmament. The totem of the round Datura signifies the spiritual source and presents the energy of fishing, hunting, pasturing and farming. Fish frolic in the ocean, animals rest on the riverbank at the foot of mountain, birds fly and flocks of deer graze in the meadow. All of the farmers work in the field. The conch, hunter, goat and spikes of rice are the representative images of laboring, in the collective unconscious of human beings. The spotlight of thought symbolizes remembrance and the colorful emotions form an atmosphere of life. Under the noble and magnificent firmament, the amazing dance of light narrates the story of our ancestors and their struggle for reclamation.
