This project draws inspiration from China and France's cultural heritages, focusing on lunar phases and the dragon. The design team blends Eastern full moon unity with Western crescent moon hope, incorporating the dragon symbol. The installation fuses lunar cultures with dragon motifs, using lighting and smoke techniques. It creates a visual feast, celebrating China and France's friendship and shared aspirations, inviting audiences to appreciate the beauty of both cultures and their harmony.
