Zhangjiajie is a unique natural landscape that has experienced billions of years of earthly changes. Local communities have a long-standing, harmonious coexistence with the nature of Zhangjiajie. However, their culture is disappearing.

The installation reflects on how modern culture has impacted on the traditions of Zhangjiajie. It incorporates elements from religious beliefs, festival performances, traditional architecture and costumes, aiming to create an awareness around the gradual disappearance of this culture. Through the combination of the traditional stilt house structure, the worship methods for mountain deities, and elements of costumes, the artwork creates an experiential installation. Over time and due to the flux of the natural environment, the colour of the fabrics have gradually faded and are disappearing. The fabrics sway in the wind, referential of traditional dances. The metals intertwined with the fabrics make a bell-like sound in the mountain breeze, signalling a warning and in turn a reminder of the disappearing rituals. The coloured fabrics evolve over time, symbolising the constant transformation of culture, climate change and the impermanence of nature.

The installation invites the viewer to insert their head, centring themselves in the changing cultural narratives, facilitating a deeper understanding of and emotional resonance with the disappearing culture of Zhangjiajie.
