Melting-Glacier Water Cascading through a Thousand Peaks, from the series "Sacrifice"

Editor: Here we have Lee Chun-Yi’s "Melting-Glacier Water Cascading through a Thousand Peaks" from 2005. The gridded landscape nestled within that arched form is striking. What's your interpretation of this work? Curator: The grid superimposed onto the natural landscape speaks volumes about control and imposed order, doesn't it? Consider how this relates to larger narratives of environmental exploitation and the human desire to dominate nature during this time. Does the title "Sacrifice" inform this tension for you? Editor: It does. Now, thinking about environmental exploitation, the title suddenly feels pointed. Thanks for that context!
