"Mountains of Gold and Silver" is presented in the form of waves, symbolizing both the continuous green mountains and the shimmering green waters, a double entendre. Using metals of various colors such as red copper, brass, and aluminum, the installation features woven mesh patterns and intertwining elements that echo the theme of "Mountains of Gold and Silver." This installation will become a landmark art piece for the village, offering not only visual beauty but also practical comfort, serving as a benchmark for the advancement of rural aesthetics.
Natural elements like clouds, leaves, butterflies, and dragonflies, as well as local crops, are woven and suspended within the installation. Not only is this art piece aesthetically pleasing, but it is also functional. It can be used daily beyond the parking lot and serves as a venue for regular market events. Additionally, it can function as an outdoor classroom.
