“睡莲”项目由Jaemee Studio在位于康涅狄格州东哈达姆的I-Park基金会的艺术家驻留期间设计和安装，其灵感来自于漂浮在八里河附近池塘中的睡莲叶，鼓励游客与大自然进行丰富而有趣的互动。

The Lily project was designed and installed by Jaemee Studio during their artist’s residency period at the I-Park Foundation, located in East Haddam, Connecticut.Inspired by lily pads floating at a pond adjacent to Eightmile River, the Lily Project encourages visitors to have a colorful and playful interaction with the monumental nature.

项目由13片不同尺寸的大型“睡莲叶”组成，它们由绝缘XPS泡沫制成，外层涂有防水涂料。每片睡莲叶由两层环形板层压而成，并延伸了周围边缘，以适应人们坐进莲叶所带来的重量及浮力。

The project consists of 13 large lily pads in various sizes that are made out of insulation XPS foams and painted with waterproofed exterior coat paints. Each lily pads are composed of two layers of circular platform laminated and extended surrounding edges to accommodate weight of the occupant entering the pad and its buoyancy.

莲叶表面被涂成醒目的颜色，但延伸出的叶片边缘则被涂成与环境中天然莲叶相似的绿色。当游客从远处接近池塘时，会无法清晰地区分自然与装置，因为绿色的边缘将自己在环境中自然地伪装起来。在游客接近装置时，这些具有强烈对比的色彩就会使其从宁静的风景中脱颖而出。

Although the surface of the lily platforms are colored in eye-catching colors, the edge of the pads extending out above the platform surfaces are colored with similar green of the existing natural lily pads at the site. As visitors approach the pond from a distance, one would not distinguish the project clearly as the edge color of green naturally camouflages itself within the context. Strong colors of contrasting hues emerging out of serene scenery is only revealed to the viewer as they get closer to the project.

漂浮的圆形构图与景观融为一体，一旦游客接近装置，就会呈现出各种引人注目的色彩。平台的莲叶直径在12英寸到8英尺之间，四个较大的叶片可供游客坐卧。这个临时的漂浮艺术装置旨在邀请游客进入莲叶内部，从而感受池塘的美丽，同时让自己成为艺术品的一部分。

Composition and aggregation of pure circle forms floating blends in with the landscape, yet celebrates itself with diverse eye-catching colors once the visitors arrive at the project. The diameters of the platform vary between 12 inches and up to 8 feet, where four larger pads can be occupied by visitors. The aim of this temporary floating art installation is to invite visitors to enjoy the beauty of the pond from its interior while emerging themselves as part of an art piece.

13片莲叶联结成网，共同固定在池塘底部。这样的组合方式使它们会随着池塘的水流和风向而变化。一旦固定点被抬起，这些莲叶就会不断地围绕池塘浮动。

The 13 lily pads are tied together in a network and anchored to the bottom of the pond. The composition of aggregation changes itself in response to the pond’s current and wind direction. Once the anchor is raised up, the group of lily pads continuously travels around the pond in circulation.
