The Allegory of the Taipei Dome present in multiple layers. The piece of artwork is inspired by the iconic ceiling fresco of the Italian artist Giovanni Battista Tiepolo, who was inherited by the Baroque in the early 17th century; Visually, you may find the classic Rococo embedded in the painting. The combination of the Rococo and the symbols such as baseball stadium, consumer goods, entertainment, etc. intertwine into a world of multiple beliefs. The angels in the painting are guiding the ways to explore every corner from this hub. You will see each angel simply represent an index. People will be guided their way through the hub, to their destination, maybe they will stop and enjoy the sky on the ground, or maybe they meet someone on the way. It is a place to start a new journey of your next chapter.
