Living in Shenzhen, a coastal city in southeastern China, I am surrounded by lush greenery and a community with a strong environmental consciousness. Our local environmental stories often focus not on stopping pollution, but on improving already good practices. One of the significant issues in my country is our energy structure. Fossil fuels are gradually decreasing, while wind and other clean energies are becoming more prominent. In coastal areas, offshore wind energy is a unique form of renewable energy. My connection with wind power began in my childhood. I vividly remember a visit to an offshore wind farm that left a deep impression on me. The sight of the massive turbines harnessing the power of the wind fascinated me and sparked my interest in renewable energy. This spectacular scene left a lasting impression on me, leading me to follow the development of wind power in my area closely. However, I realized that many people are still unfamiliar with this method of power generation. Thus, I chose the dissemination and continuation of offshore wind energy as my theme for this project. Initially, I envisioned creating a topographic sandbox, but I realized that this approach was rather dull and wouldn't effectively convey my environmental viewpoint or inspire change. Therefore, I decided to create an interactive installation that would allow viewers to participate in the creation process, making the piece more dynamic and engaging.
