Flow With The Sprit Of Water Public Art

Flow With the Sprit of Water Public Art is a transformative public art installation created by Taiwanese artist Iutian Tsai, designed to harmonize community environments and promote spiritual well-being through sculptural intervention. This sophisticated installation, crafted from SUS 316 stainless steel, represents a profound exploration of the relationship between environmental energy and human consciousness, completed between March 2015 and April 2020 in Hsinchu, Taiwan. The work addresses the contemporary challenge of urban spiritual pollution, where interpersonal dissonances create both visible and invisible chaos in communal spaces. Through its fluid, organic forms, the installation channels and purifies the space's positive chi energy, creating a subtle yet powerful shift in the environmental atmosphere. The sculptural elements are deliberately designed to achieve a dual effect of being both calming and invigorating, projecting what has been described as a high-wattage aura that influences the surrounding space. Located in the Chang Yih hi-tech industrial park, this installation serves as a meditation on the balance between technological advancement and spiritual harmony. The work's significance was recognized with a Platinum A' Design Award in the Fine Arts and Art Installation Design category, acknowledging its exceptional contribution to public space enhancement and its innovative approach to addressing contemporary social issues. The installation's design philosophy centers on transforming negative energy into positive outcomes, guiding viewers toward a more balanced state of being through its thoughtful integration of form, space, and spiritual elements.
