Sanctuary
The hammocks really made this piece work.
A site-specific outdoor intervention located at the top of the hill, within the defence walls of Mount Fortress, once a historical military centre of Macau is now transformed into a prime location for tourist to get a panoramic view of the city and the mainland area.
It is from the weight of the history embedded at this site that this temporary bamboo structure reveals its meaningful strategy, a shaded canopy to protect the passersby from the elements and give peace of mind, rest and contemplation before their departure to the next destination.
