ICE WATCHING

The project is inspired by the most common yet most elusive and poetic substance in nature, the ice. Its ephemeral condition and ever-changing form result in infinite elusive appearances. Ice bears poetic semblance of life because of its different states. The work is technically divided into two parts. One part is on the bank, which is designed for people to rest, stay and watch the iceberg.The other part is the iceberg floating in the river. When people come to the rest area and stay for a period of time, the sensor will be triggered, and the whole installation will start to deflate, as if the iceberg is melting. The installation begins to inflate as soon as people leave, gradually return to its original state.
