Platinum A' Design Award Winner 2025
This installation photograph presents two large vertical poster panels mounted on a smooth gray wall within what appears to be a modern public corridor or lobby space, with pale stone-colored floor tiles visible below. Scanning from left to right, the left panel features a predominantly white background that transitions gradually upward into soft sky blue tones near the top. The right panel presents a more saturated appearance, with deep teal blue coloring throughout that intensifies toward darker prussian blue at the bottom. Both panels share identical compositional elements arranged in three horizontal zones. In the upper portion of each, soft mountain silhouettes appear in muted blue-gray tones, their peaks creating gentle undulating rhythms against the sky, rendered with a watercolor-like softness suggesting misty atmospheric distance, cool and tranquil as morning fog in mountain valleys. Below these landscape elements, stylized geometric letterforms fill the central and lower portions, their shapes combining curved segments reminiscent of traditional calligraphic strokes with angular technological elements suggesting circuit pathways, smooth and precise as etched metal. Small circular dots punctuate intersection points throughout these letter-like forms, resembling connection nodes on electronic boards. The linear elements feel crisp and defined, like fine wire or precisely ruled channels. White text appears in the upper left corners of both panels, with smaller text blocks positioned at lower right. At the right edge of the photograph, a human figure walks past the installation, their form captured in motion blur that suggests brisk purposeful movement, their clothing appearing in warm beige tones that contrast with the cool blue palette of the surrounding environment. The overall atmosphere feels clean, institutional, and forward-looking, combining technological precision with natural tranquility.
In the upper section, the Chinese character for Anhui is framed by the classic contours of Huizhou architecture, underlying the profound historical and cultural legacy. This character gradually transforms into a circuit, symbolizing technological advancement, culminating in the four Chinese characters for Hefei High Tech. This progression illustrates the shift from cultural imagery to technological representation, forming the visual centerpiece of the entire composition.
