Abundance is a site specific installation aimed to serve as both an eye-catcher to enhance FULOON’s store image and to “cordially invite” passersby into the restaurant. Keywords that suggest well wishing for “A Great Abundance of…” in Chinese and English are mechanically printed and hand written on a variety of colorful round papers, especially RED. Round is a form that implies fullness, entirely developed, completion, and perfection. The color red is the most auspicious color for Chinese people, a color that is marked by lucky signs and good omens. Red is seen as the promise of success or happiness. Colored thread is used to string these round cut-outs into strands to indicate continuity, connection and bounty.
