Design Concept
This series of public art installations—comprising large-scale 3D sculptures and murals—was commissioned to celebrate and preserve the rich cultural, culinary, and historical heritage of Sitiawan. Spanning themes from traditional Foochow cuisine such as Gong Pian and Red Wine Mee Sua, to rubber plantation life and family values, each artwork serves as a vibrant storytelling piece deeply rooted in the local identity.
