Blind Wall
A blind wall from a social housing complex is brightened up with an artwork by Michael Lin. When designing the work, he took into account the neighbourhood’s many nationalities as well as the work’s universality. Lin wanted to create something that everyone would understand, and as a bonus would give colour to the area as well.
He succeeded wonderfully in his attempt with a bright green flower pattern, which is in stark contrast with the complex’s red bricks. The simple design hints at the textile factories that used to be present in the area. The Taiwanese artist prefers public spaces to museums.
