海韵灯花:枸杞的故乡寄托
本装置艺术作品坐落舟山枸杞岛一处面朝大海日落方向的沙滩。这座岛屿在历史上曾是古代使节必经之地,也见证过先人守护家园的誓言。一代代渔民在此生活,带来对海洋的敬畏和对亲人的牵挂。
“小岛你好”艺术装置国际竞赛优秀提案

Climate change is all around us. Pollution in water, changes in soil acidity, or heavy metals like zinc can be dangerous, but we usually don’t notice them. Our clothes stay silent. Our materials don't respond. But what if they could?
In simpler terms: I am creating a fabric that changes color when it touches things like high levels of zinc or unsafe pH. It works by using freeze-dried biological parts that are not alive but can still react when water is added. This means the fabric can "wake up" and respond without needing electricity or lab tools.

作品设计受到当地悠久的鱼灯和花灯文化的启发。鱼灯象征渔民对海神的忠诚和喜悦,花灯则象征对亲人的思念和期盼，两种灯饰彰显了枸杞人朴实质真的文化情感。朴素的鱼灯和花灯承载了浓浓乡愁，这些文化符码构成了人与海洋、故土、亲人之间纽带的根基。时代在变迁，人们来来往往，但这种精神认同永存。
装置将鱼、花和海浪的元素融合构成一个亦分亦合的“花海”，由许多漂浮花瓣状的发光织布构成，并由参观者行走其间，近看是绚烂的花海,在海上远眺则是栩栩如生的鱼形。在夜晚，装置通过地面上星星点点的灯具打量，仿佛一个供人随意穿梭的大型灯笼。作者通过对枸杞岛非物质文化遗产的当代解构，打造出一个跨时空的故乡精神象征，而这种对故土文化的传承与重塑，也展望了枸杞人对未来的寄托和希望。在时间变迁中，故乡不仅是地点，更是承载记忆的精神寄托;透过当代艺术的创新语言，既庆祝了过往，也预示了可期的未来。
Project Introduction Video
The project pipeline breaks down to 3 "aims".
Aim 1: Cell-free Lab Experiment
The first aim of the project is to develop a functional genetic biosensor circuit for zinc detection by designing, assembling, and testing it in a cell-free system. This biosensor is intended to provide a reliable and accessible means of monitoring zinc concentrations, which can be crucial for environmental assessments and health diagnostics.
The project is currently being developed on this aim.

Aim 2: Freeze-Dried Experiment
The second aim is to establish a repeatable, freeze-dried protocol for embedding biosensors onto fabric substrates, ensuring stability, rehydration responsiveness, and visual output under ambient conditions. The goal is to move toward robust biosensors that can function in uncontrolled environments, expanding their use beyond lab settings into wearables, public installations, or field kits.

Aim 3: Fabric Embedding
The third aim of my project is to integrate biosensing fabrics into public-facing formats such as wearable pieces or textile-based installations. By embedding responsive biosensors into textiles used for clothing, art, or architectural surfaces, the project aims to create new ways for people to see and feel environmental change around them. This approach treats sensing not only as a technical function but as a cultural interface, fostering public awareness, environmental storytelling, and new modes of engagement with climate-related signals.
