NAGANO WATER DRESS

We collected branches from the mountains and forests and wove a dress for the streams in this mountain. It floats gently on the water, like a dress tailor-made for the river. The geometric structure shows order and rhythm in the water flow, responding to the strong and continuous flow speed of the mountain stream, allowing the woven form to breathe with the water in the flow.

“This installation and its construction methods are original artistic expressions developed by Lua Rivera & Lee Kuei-Chih.”
