這座雕塑的設計目的是模仿我們在青海建造的溫室原型,作為對這次旅行和學校的致敬。在2018年8月至11月期間,我自願參與了一項慈善計劃,與氣象工程師Wiriar Rattanansuwan和當地學校創辦人Tsangsar Kunga一起工作。該計劃最初的目標是在位於海拔約3700米的青海省囊謙縣建造一個能夠抵禦嚴寒冬季條件的溫室。該溫室旨在為札西格森學校照顧下的孤兒提供全年蔬菜供應,該學校的座標位置為32°31'45.2"N 96°03'05.2"E。此外,我們還希望通過探索跨學科的生產系統,將慈善計劃、藝術和科學聯繫起來。因此,使用當地植物染色的太陽能電池板建造溫室具有教育和社區發展價值。這三個窗戶分別用黑豆、薯莨和青海地區的黑枸杞染色。電池的碳電極由石墨烯製成,形狀是基於Tsansar Kunga的三個書法字。從左到右的三個字分別代表聲音、生命壽命和磁場方向。

Tashi Gatsen greenhouse construction document on wiki
This sculpture is designed to resemble the greenhouse prototype we constructed in Quinhai, as a tribute to the trip and the school. In August to November 2018, I voluntarily participated in a charity project alongside weather engineer Wiriar Rattanansuwan and local school founder Tsangsar Kunga. The initial objective of the project was to construct a greenhouse in Nangqen, Quinhai, situated at an altitude of approximately around 3,700 meters, capable of withstanding harsh winter conditions. The greenhouse aimed to provide year-round vegetables for the orphan children under the care of Tashi Gatsen School, located at 32°31'45.2"N 96°03'05.2"E. Additionally, we sought to establish a connection between the charity project, art, and science, by exploring an interdisciplinary production system. Hence, constructing a greenhouse with solar cells dyed with local plants held educational and community development value. The three windows are dyed with black beans, shulang yam and the local plant in Qinhai lycium ruthenicum. The carbon electrode of the cell is made of graphene, in shape of three Tibetan calligraphy based on Tsansar Kunga’s work, who was the founder of Tashi Gatsen School. The 3 characters “hom, drom, om” from left to right representing “respectively Sound, length of life and direction of magnetic field.”
