Commissioned for a curved, double height corridor at the heart of the new hospital, Kingdom of Butterflies is suspended above visitors’ heads and recalls memories of time spent in nature. Creative Road worked in partnership with the artist to develop her concept, overseeing artwork design, fabrication and installation on site in Taipei.
“As the mobiles are designed to move, the effect of the butterfly installation will be one of gentle, constant movement, similar to watching the leaves of a tree flutter softly in the breeze, or dappled sunlight shifting in a garden. Observing gentle movement is a calming and meditative experience, which is appropriate for a place of healing.” Jade Oakley
