What if a park itself became the surface of an ocean?

This public art concept imagines the open park landscape as a "green ocean" — a poetic framework where grass, pathways, planting, terraced nodes, and everyday community movement become the fluid surface through which sculptural whale forms dynamically appear.

Rather than presenting one complete whale as a single, static object, the artwork is envisioned as a sequence of freestanding sculptural encounters. The concept draws on a family of humpback whale forms — fluke, head/rostrum, dorsal fin, pectoral fin, and body curve — from which approximately three to five elements are selected and scaled to suit the specific landscape design, budget, and engineering requirements. Placed thoughtfully across the terrain, these elements appear as if parts of a majestic whale are surfacing, disappearing, and reappearing through the land.

This approach allows the artwork to unfold through movement. Visitors do not understand the whole work at once; instead, they discover it gradually while walking, pausing, gathering, or playing. For children, the series feels imaginative and playful — as if a whale were swimming through their very neighbourhood. For students and families, it opens quiet, meaningful connections to migration, biodiversity, marine life, and ecological responsibility. For local residents, it establishes a memorable, distinct identity for their shared public space.

The "green ocean" is not intended as a literal ocean scene. It is a transformative conceptual design that turns an everyday neighbourhood park into a place of wonder, discovery, play, and reflection.
