THE WHITE MIRAGE
March 16 2023
"Surrounded by Mountains, beside the water. Red pillars and black tiles, with snow and rime. "
Mirage, as it is called, is seen as prosperous and lavish but untouchable and intangible. The white mirage, supplemented by snow scenery, forms a mysterious land surrounded by fairy spirits.
There is no way to find this place; serendipity is the only chance to enter. You will be introduced to a mirror, and by taking off any disguise, the true self will be revealed.
The architectural prototype draws on ancient Chinese architecture, innovates in its architectural form, and incorporates the elements of the "Fuzhu" in the Classic of Mountains and Seas, which means blessing peace, abundance, and harmony.
Indoors, a giant sculpture hangs in the lobby, with stag horns, a snake body, bird wings, and a fishtail, opening its mouth to deter foreign guests. There is a pond in front of the stage, a small bridge in the middle, and exotic flowers and plants are planted on both sides. Two finely carved wooden chairs are placed on the stage, and the people who are most important to the guests sit on the seats. There is a landscape screen behind the seat, and behind the screen is another space.
The corridors located in the west and east directions are endless. Once you step into them, you will be stuck in an infinity loop.
