As the autumn wind rises, nature dons its vibrant hues. These lanterns take shape around wire frames—bent into sleek, minimalist forms or dynamic geometric patterns—lending them a unique structural elegance. The lightly oxidized surface of the wires reveals a rustic metallic sheen, reminiscent of timeworn trees bearing the marks of seasons past.

Twined paper cords, like "veins of autumn," wrap around the frame in dense or airy layers, their natural texture and coarse touch evoking the undulating waves of golden wheat fields. Feathers serve as the lanterns’ crowning detail—shades of brown and gray interwoven freely or arranged in orderly rows. Each quill curves with organic grace, some tips slightly curled, as if mimicking autumn leaves dancing in the breeze. When the wind stirs, the feathers tremble like birds taking flight, breathing life into the lanterns.

Accents of ripe autumn hues—orange berries and chrysanthemum blooms—mingle with the feathers, cords, and wires, weaving together a celebration of the season’s bounty.
