Visual Arts Installation 2: Floating Net
✖
Inspired by the discovery of an existing fishing net located on the eastern coastline of Shalowan, the installation will resemble a fishing net-like sculpture to the west.
The artwork is designed to “float” in the sky to initiate a dialogue between the deteriorating fishing net and the reincarnated one. A comment of the disappearing fishing heritage slowly eroded by the aviation industry.
