The installation's design process began with a detailed study of the Hakka umbrella's structure, its ribs, proportions, and joint mechanisms. By deconstructing and reconfiguring these components, artist Cheng Tsung FENG developed a new system of interlaced umbrella frames that form a continuous overhead canopy. The result is a semi-enclosed environment defined by rhythm, repetition, and structural clarity. At the center of the installation lies a small pocket garden surrounded by circular wooden benches, establishing a connection between human activity and natural growth.
