The Light

Light is an installation for the 2021 Art at the FULIANG festival in Hanxi Village, Jingdezhen. Set among rolling tea fields in the Shiziyuan area, the work responds to the region’s natural and cultural landscape known for its black tea production and porcelain heritage.

The installation draws from the curves of the surrounding tea fields, translating them into a floating structure enveloped by a white membrane. Positioned at the highest point of the hill, it transforms a previously overlooked area into a visible and symbolic destination.

During the day, the structure appears as a floating white form above the fields. Depending on light and weather conditions, it shifts from opaque to translucent acting as a frame for the sky, fog, trees, and mountains. At night, internal lighting slowly transitions through four colors, echoing the village lights and creating a beacon-like presence in the landscape.

The installation includes a public platform beneath it, offering a space for rest, gatherings, and community use. By inviting visitors to climb the hill and engage with the scenery, Light reframes the relationship between people and nature.
