2020 Treasures of the Sea｜Tainan's Old Fish Market

Treasures of the Sea

Artist: Yang Shi yi

Address: Jinhua New Road, West Central District, Tainan City

This new landmark, created for Tainan, was laser-cut, painted a golden yellow, and then installed on-site. I feel a special connection to Tainan; it's a cultural capital with a rich, artistic atmosphere. It was a privilege to create such a wonderful spot for the city.

The large, carved iron gate stands at over 300 cm tall. Standing before it on-site, you feel like you're at the entrance to an ocean temple.

A friend helped name it: "The Fantastical Journey of a Young Fisherman." It truly feels like it could be the setting for a movie or even a picture book.
