These characte rs shoul d b e represent in our design which is the containe r of these ar t pieces. One Hundred and twenty laye rs of meshes are hanging parall e l from the al uminum cei ling frame which is added to the exis ting s tructure of the his torical site. These mesh es bl ur the lighting, vision and di rect ion. Narratives of each art work he lp us to design the paths in among meshes, they are ways that the artis t wants to te l l the s tory, fee l the s tory and see the s tory b ehind thei r works.
