Finding the plastic bottles to create The Starry Paradise was a trying experience, said Wang Cheng-wei, the designer and overseer of the piece, who is also a lecturer at the National Changhua University of Education and a renowned sculptor involved in many public art projects.

The installation cost 90 million Taiwan dollars (2.5 Million Euro) that aims to promote environmental protection. The bottles were donated by recycling centers as well as individuals, and for every 10 bottles that were received, the park donated NT$1 to the Canlove Social Service Association, a charity that aims to help people with depression, Wang said.

“This project is a dialogue between Vincent van Gogh and me,” Wang Cheng-wei said.

“It has different visual effects in daytime when the grass under the mosaic forms a contrast with the arrangement’s colors, while at night LED lights illuminate the places where stars are in Van Gogh’s composition,” the artist said.
