Xinlongsheng CDA - Hakka Fangkou Lion Art Display
Amid the busy rhythms of city life, an installation reborn from marine waste quietly stands.
We bring sustainability and culture into people’s sight in a natural way,
making it not just a work of art, but a subtle act of environmental education.
Every moment people brush past each other can become an opportunity for environmental education to occur.
Waste collected from the coastline is transformed into a means of carrying culture through a recycling process.
When these materials are transformed into the shape of a Hakka square lion and placed in the life of the technology building station and neighborhood, they are not only part of the installation, but also become a medium for residents, neighborhood members and road users to naturally come into contact with the concept of sustainability in their daily lives.
At Technology Building MRT Station, we used 13.61 kg of recycled marine waste panels, bringing the value of material rebirth into a bustling indoor hub. Unlike our previous outdoor spaces, this location places the work directly in the daily sightlines of commuters, residents, and community members.
CNC-cut panels depict the Hakka Fangkou Lion, extended with a “sister lions” concept to represent the protective and cultural essence of the mother lion (Wen Lion), visually echoing Changlong Village’s Green Lion.
For the first time, full-color printing renders Hakka patterns and symbolic colors on recycled materials, creating Taiwan’s first public artwork of this kind. The work brings sustainable materials into the city’s main flow, offering commuters a cultural experience that combines Hakka heritage and sustainability.
Let the ocean’s second life become part of the city’s everyday.
When recycled materials enter public spaces, they are not just reused—they quietly shape new cultural landscapes in daily life.
We believe that every piece of reborn material can spark a conversation, reconnecting the ocean, the city, and people’s lives.
May more corners of our cities witness recycled materials transforming into new possibilities for culture, design, and everyday life.
