A mind-blowing art installation in Kunming is turning heads—and straws—into a sustainability statement! Titled ‘Dream Wave’, the immersive artwork uses 100,000 biodegradable straws to create swirling patterns that mimic blooming flowers and flowing rivers, transforming a shopping center into a springtime wonderland.
Art Meets Eco-Activism
Located at Century Jinyuan Square, the installation isn’t just Insta-worthy—it’s sparking conversations about eco-friendly alternatives to single-use plastics. The straws, made from materials like bamboo and recycled paper, showcase how creativity can drive environmental awareness. One local student told us: ‘It’s like nature and art high-fived!’
Spring Fever in the City
Kunming, known as China’s ‘City of Eternal Spring’, is no stranger to floral beauty. But this project adds a modern twist—proving sustainability can be dreamy and impactful. Social media is buzzing with videos of the installation glowing under rainbow-colored lights at night, with hashtags like #StrawGoals trending locally.
Whether you’re into eco-innovation, art, or just need a dose of spring vibes, ‘Dream Wave’ is a must-see—no plastic required.
