Muling Chen selects the most representing windows from the Chinese and the Japanese Traditions Gardens to study the geometrical morphology, silhouette and the ambience under shadow and lights, and designs the accessories that match the Modern Aesthetic, either for wearing or movable structure. Meanwhile, through the technology of metal processing and crafting as well as the switching of the artwork structure, she builds the classic landscape and the ambience with unique elements, showing the unify of the subjects, painting materials and delivering senses of the Classic Chinese Ink Painting. It is possible to connect the physical human body with the real time dynamics in the garden, finding the connections between soul, body and the nature.
Muling believes that when siting behind the leaking windows in the Chinese Classic Garden and the Shoji of the Japanese Garden, people tends to more likely be attracted by the shadow and light from the nature. The windows can be explained as a spatial concept, which connects the external landscape and the inner space, implying the communications between the body and the outside world. Inspired by the Chinese ink painting, which emphasizes the theory of art vitality and art vigour, she creates the delicate touch of shadow and light among the interactions between the nature and the mandarin style windows, as well as balances the modern aesthetic delivering the message of inner harmony from the mandarin style windows.
