Resonance by Yu Fan He and Chia Chen Lee Wins Platinum in A' Fine-Art Design Awards

Site Specific Floating Light Installation at Yuejin Harbor Recognized for Translating Celestial Rhythms Into Light

COMO, CO, ITALY, July 6, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- The A' Design Awards has announced Resonance, a site specific floating light installation created by Yu Fan He and Chia Chen Lee, as a Platinum recipient within the Fine Arts and Art Installation Design category. The A' Design Award is one of the world's most prestigious and highly respected recognitions in the field of fine art and design, distinguishing works that demonstrate notable creativity and considered execution. This designation acknowledges the artistic and technical accomplishment evident in Resonance, a work positioned in the waters of Yuejin Harbor. The recognition affirms the standing of the project within an internationally evaluated field of fine art submissions. It also situates the achievement of Yu Fan He and Chia Chen Lee among a respected community of practitioners advancing contemporary installation art.

The A' Fine Arts and Art Installation Design Award holds relevance for the broader field by highlighting works that bridge cultural meaning and public experience. Resonance addresses a contemporary condition shaped by acceleration and fragmented perception, inviting observers to reclaim a moment of focus within everyday reality. By reinterpreting the traditional concept of the Seven Luminaries through a contemporary light environment, the installation connects historical symbolism with present day spatial design. For audiences, practitioners, and cultural institutions, the work demonstrates how public art can transform a specific site into a shared field of reflection. This alignment of symbolic depth with accessible engagement reflects current directions within the fine art and installation community.

Resonance consists of seven black iron structures positioned across water and shoreline, serving as metaphors for convergence and generation. As light rotates and flows through the iron framework, it mimics the diffusion of energy, prompting a resonance between diverse cultures, memories, and emotions. White nylon ropes are wound through the grooves of the black iron plates, functioning simultaneously as reflective luminous surfaces and as structural tension that draws the interlaced plates inward. The seven modules echo one another across the water, creating layers of ripples that momentarily freeze the vast rhythms of heaven and earth at this location. Through reflections, spatial layering, and controlled light movement, the work shifts in appearance with distance and viewpoint.

The Platinum A' Design Award recognition offers Yu Fan He and Chia Chen Lee a foundation for continued exploration in light, space, and cultural narrative. The achievement may inform future projects that further integrate emerging media with site responsive installation. It also encourages ongoing inquiry into how cyclical rhythms and luminous environments can shape public perception. For the team, the recognition serves as motivation to sustain a practice grounded in conceptual depth and technical precision.
