“Water, Like Earth: Flowing in Harmony” originates from contemporary environmental concerns, using the inclusive and fluid nature of water as a metaphor to explore the relationship between humanity and the natural world.

Drawing inspiration from Eastern philosophy, the design team conducted multiple tests on light, humidity, and acoustics, translating the four natural elements—sky, cloud, water, and mountain—into a perceivable spatial expression.

During construction, modular assembly and reusable structural systems were employed to ensure efficient, low-carbon exhibition setup. Through the orchestration of natural light, mist devices, and rhythmic water drips, the installation evokes a breathing sense of flow, inviting visitors to walk, listen, and gaze—becoming part of the work itself.

The final look presents an eco-art experience that is both poetic and sustainable, where space transcends its role as a mere display environment to become a spiritual journey of compassion, stillness, and coexistence.
