Luminous Cloud Isles and the Starman

About The Entry

The installation “Luminous Cloud Isles and the Starman” conveys the significance of cultural and environmental sustainability. The story tells of wishes long cherished by people, which transform into water droplets and condense in the starry sky to form the four Isles. Each isle symbolizes a theme: sustainable tourism, marine conservation, sustainable fisheries, and the spirit of local communities.

The "Lords" of these isles take on fantastical forms, their appearances inspired by regional landscapes, daily life, and local agricultural and fishing industries. The totemic colors are drawn from the traditional festival attire of the Wangye Worshipping Ceremony.

The story's protagonist, "Starman," embarks on a journey to explore Luminous Cloud Isles. The four isles are imbued with blessings of being cherished, abundance, beauty, and vitality, reflecting the overarching message that humans and the environment can thrive together. Through this installation, the project aspires to raise awareness of the importance of environmental sustainability.
