The Light Tower consists of six stacked fair-faced concrete boxes. The iconic symbol of “+” hollowed-out as the entrance to the light source, with the different facing directions and various forms of the façade, allows for the overlapping and staggering of the light and shadows.

The artwork implies the concept of “making the best use of everything”, indicating the relationship between concave and convex as dismantling and restoring, between the solidification of the basic form and its displacement, and between the sculpture and its extension parts to form a unified landscape scene.

Sourced from Frank Lloyd Wright’s philosophy “organic architecture”, the artwork focuses on the organic generation of the design and the coherence of the overall concept of the work.
