About The Entry

The Heart of Sayram Lake is a permanent public landmark dedicated to true love, built by DR at Sayram Lake, a remote alpine lake in Xinjiang known as "the Last Tear of the Atlantic". Spanning exactly 1,314 km², the lake carries an innate romantic cultural symbol — in Chinese pronunciation, "1314" sounds identical to "a lifetime together". Its timeless crystal waters and everlasting snow-capped peaks form nature's metaphor for loyal, enduring love that never fades. As a global new-luxury jewelry brand centered on "One Exclusive True Love for a Lifetime", DR turns its abstract love philosophy — "One Love, One Lifetime" into immersive public art.

This installation is shaped as a water drop with layered ripples, with its interlocking twin central rings standing for matching wedding bands that echo DR's diamond ring tokens. Mirror stainless steel replicates the lake's transparent water and reflects surrounding snow peaks and shifting sky, while hollow red wire mesh symbolizes passionate, exclusive devotion. The contrast between cool reflective metal and warm red mesh balances the plateau's wild serenity with the warmth of sincere love. Wind, frost, and clouds reshape the installation's look dynamically, creating shifting light, temperature, and texture that blend the artwork into nature.

Unlike static traditional monuments, this installation features a regenerative interactive framework. Visitors place local lake stones and DR heart locks through one-way non-retrievable slots; engraved love mottos gradually emerge as tokens accumulate. Fully filled units can be replicated and arranged into matrix clusters, turning every participating couple into co-builders and enabling long-term landscape renewal.

Free for all visitors, this installation is equipped with stone benches and photo props. It suits all-day shooting, allowing all participants to perceive the beauty of lifelong committed love amidst the mountains and the lake.
