2020

Daniel Monteverde (1951) is an Italian designer, he is also the artistic director of the Kobe Festival in Japan. The luminaire object and artwork Flower of light , which reminds us of the Campanula Isophylla, is made with the essential element of life: light. This is necessary for plant survival, but also necessary for the human spirit as a metaphor of hope. Luminarie art comes from south Italian religious festivals where towns were decorated with light installations bringing joy to the communities and alleviating suffering.

Where is the most symbolic work like the “Flower of light” to a huge road of luminarie shining the city, his works are able to touch people's hearts by drawing from cosmological patterns.

丹尼爾・蒙特維多（1951年生）是義大利設計師，亦是日本神戶光之盛典的藝術總監。這件讓人想起義大利風鈴草的燈光與作品《燈之花》，由生命基本元素「光」所構成。光是植物生存所必須，也是人類心靈中用於隱喻希望所不可或缺。光雕藝術源自於南義大利的宗教節慶，小鎮會裝飾著燈光裝置，為社區帶來喜悅與減緩苦難。
