Vanishing Fishing Industry
Urban Sculpture
This urban installation will float on the waters of Xiamen’s Shapaowei Typhoon Shelter, visible from the now-trendy streets. Inspired by a visit to Shapaowei, it reflects the fading fishing culture amid rising skyscrapers. Vanishing Fishing Shadows extracts elements like fish storage tanks, boat structures, and dense village architecture to preserve memories of the past. By contrasting traditional fishing life with a modernized hotspot, it prompts reflection on the fragile balance between urbanization and cultural heritage.
