Introduction

The theme of the exhibition arcade itself symbolizes the journey of striving for those distant and unreachable dreams. The deeper meaning refers to the intersection of scenes, representing the essential path from one place to another. Despite the potential length and challenges of this journey, it remains imbued with hope and reveals numerous beautiful elements along the way. However, the envisioned scenery lies at the end of this path, reflecting our aspirations. Within the arcade's main visual, shadows depict the real-life obstacles and challenges encountered by the girl; the sky embodies her dreams; the whale symbolizes both luck and freedom, mirroring the lifestyle she yearns for; water droplets, stirred by the whale, generate the dreamy sky, signifying the hope that pervades her journey within this arcade; while the sunset signifies the graceful conclusion of our four years, marking the onset of a new chapter in our lives. Drawing from this understanding of the arcade's significance, we've meticulously crafted various exhibition walls within the venue. These include Instagrammable walls, offering diverse scenes visible through arches; arch walls adorned with intricate patterns; and sky scenery walls that evoke a sense of longing. Furthermore, the display cabinets are designed as integral elements of the arcade, seamlessly blending into the venue and ensuring cohesive aesthetics throughout the exhibition space, thereby enhancing the overall exhibition experience.
