Public Sculpture – Evolution of Birds
2021 - 2022
Evolution of Birds is located in Fengyi Bay Sino-French Agricultural Science and Technology Park, Nanchong, China. The park was once a wasteland filled with abandoned ditches and construction sites, and often flooded. After six years of renovation, it became a wetland reserve for migratory birds, fish and plants.

Part of this park near the local residential is planned to be a pioneering demonstration zone for tourism and rural revitalization. This group of six sculptures will be placed at the education area for people to learn the knowledge of nature and arouse their attention to environmental change.
The sculpture is designed as a series of artistic evolving birds. Given that the park primarily serves the nearby residents, the appearance of the Evolution of Birds is family-friendly. It reflects and reminds visitors that the Fengyi Bay Wetland is home to both humans and wildlife.
