About the artwork
The installation features a text describing scenes of traditional rice farming alongside a sculpture depicting people working in the The Rice Fields on the opposite bank. Viewed from the observation deck within the agricultural stage, the poem, the landscape, and the artwork appear to merge into a single composition.
