This art installation masterfully blends the allure found in Jiangnan Water Towns (located in the south of the Yangtze River region) and the timeless elegance of Suzhou’s classical gardens. It revitalizes traditional aesthetics through modern design, evoking a unique and evocative cultural ambiance while embodying the spirit of artistic innovation.

At the core of this design is the reinterpretation of the "hexagonal window", a signature element in Suzhou's classical gardens. Traditionally, these windows were meticulously crafted to frame and highlight the natural beauty of the landscape, offering serene views. In this interpretation, modern technology has transformed these hexagonal frames into dynamic and interactive focal points. The multi-layered structure, composed of several hexagonal frames, comes alive with a captivating interplay of light and shadow, creating a mesmerizing and ever-changing visual narrative.

The integration of advanced interactive lighting technology transforms this art installation into a portal, inviting audiences to embark on an ethereal journey through time. As they move through the space, they are not merely observers but participants in a living tableau where the vibrant interplay of light and shadow weaves together the past and the present. This immersive design not only celebrate the Jiangnan region's rich cultural heritage, but also demonstrates how technology and art can intertwine, blazing a new trail in inheriting and promoting traditional culture.
