This sculpture marks one of the earliest uses of perforated stainless steel in Chinese public sculpture, introducing lightness and transparency into a traditionally solid medium.
Inspired by the name Dengshikou (“Lantern Market”), the work integrates lighting design with the organic form of ginkgo leaves. Through its mesh structure, light penetrates the surface, dissolving mass and allowing the sculpture to shift between material presence and immaterial glow.
Rather than asserting monumentality, the work constructs an atmosphere. It operates as both an urban memory of historic Wangfujing and a metaphor for sustained vitality—where commerce, history, and illumination coexist within a continuously activated public space.
这件雕塑是中国公共雕塑中最早运用穿孔不锈钢材质的作品之一，为传统厚重坚实的雕塑媒介赋予了轻盈通透的质感。 作品灵感源自地名灯市口，将灯光设计与银杏叶的自然形态融为一体。依托网状结构，光线可穿透雕塑表层，消解实体的厚重感，让雕塑在实体质感与空灵光影之间变幻流转。 该作品并未刻意塑造宏大庄重的体量感，而是营造出独特的空间氛围。它既是王府井老城的城市记忆载体，也是永续生机的意象隐喻，让商业活力、历史底蕴与光影意境相融共生，构筑出始终鲜活的公共城市空间。
