For this artwork, the artist uses the materiality of glass to produce light reflection and refractions that interact with the environment, beaming with different brightness and depths. This interaction between glass and light beams demonstrate the aesthetics and mysteries of light, shadow, and color.
Emerald Laminata is filled imagination and vitality, located in the Kaohsiung International Airport Station and known as the world’s largest 3D glass sculpture public art. Created by German glass artist Lutz Haufschild, the artwork is divided into two walls, using water to the circulation of urban lives and a glistening emerald hue to represent environmental sustainability.
當代藝術常見以媒材本身作為創作本體，本作品便是運用玻璃的媒材特性，透過空間環境的光束反射、折射，而產生不同深淺與亮度的效果，玻璃與光束交織，多元展現出「光、影、色」的美學與奧妙。
充滿想像與生命力度的作品，座落在捷運高雄國際機場站，為目前世界最大型的玻璃雕塑3D公共藝術品，由德國玻璃藝術家Lutz Haufschild設計，將作品分為兩面牆，以水呼應源源不息的城市生命，以綠寶石般的色澤代表環境永續的關懷，讓往返於此的每一位旅客、市民彷彿置身於城市仙境，在快速變動的都市生活中，回歸生命的質樸與心靈的寧靜。
