The installation aims to explore how spatial design can address health problems caused by land pollution. It is not only an architectural installation, but also a future vision of human health and environmental protection.

UTOPIAN ROOM

The overall form of the device adopts the form of an organism, with the sphere as the basic element, symbolizing a closed self-purification system. The spheres are connected by channels to form an independent spatial ensemble.
This closed and continuous spatial form implies that human beings are passively trapped in a closed ecosystem when facing environmental pollution.
