The sculpture marks the entrance gate to the largest Myrtle Tree Garden
in Asia. Music, Rhythm and Dance in combination with the surrounding
Landscape were the main parameters shaping ‘the Soundwave’.
As visitors enter the sculpture to the Myrtle Tree Garden, they are
surrounded by more than 800 fins which sprout up like trees in a
topographical landscape of stones and water. Resting on Göthe’s
definition “Architecture is frozen music”, the aggregation of fins
presents a solidified moment of a Soundwave in motion.
Four different shades of Purple, the tone of the Myrtle Tree, were
applied as a coloring scheme. The field of fins give the visitors a
sense of being surrounded by tree trunks, strolling through the woods,
being disoriented for a moment, but also able to peek through some
openings between the fins to be guided further. Like walking through a
forest, the spaces in-between the fins are varying from narrow footpaths
to wider clearing-like areas, giving the visitors and local
dance-groups an opportunity to vitalize the sculpture during day and
night.
