Breeze・Breeze

“I try to materialize the air between us by recreating the shape of a breeze in this installation.”

Yu Wen Fu is an expert at creating feather and bamboo art. His work “Breeze・Breeze” paints an image of a sea of flowy white feathers that changes the stereotype of Breeze Xinyi Boulevard. Pieces of snowy white feathers made of Taiwan bamboo hang from the ceiling. They’re so dense that they appear to be waves of flowy clouds around the mountain tops, or waves of silver grass.
The feather implies the artist’s dreams, while the bamboo is a retrospect of his childhood. When a breeze comes through, we can “see” the air flow and vaguely sense what the artist is trying to say: The circle of life between people, the environment, and nature.
Seen from afar, the installation made of thousands of bamboo picks and tens of thousands of feathers appear to have no clear boundaries. Up close, the pieces become distinctly three dimensional. A walk through the corridor feels like entering the season when silver grass sways in the breeze. Listen carefully, you will hear the rustle of the bamboo and the feathers, so vague yet so real. It is autumn arriving riding the breeze. It is the air that doesn’t stop flowing through and whispering in our ears.
