The concept of Lane design

Graffiti in Australia is a sort of street culture. Many young people are interested in painting on the walls of Laneways in Melbourne to express their ideas in different art forms. For this artwork, it aims to utilize the graffiti way with Chinese traditional patterns to decorate and enliven the narrow laneway where is beside a Chinese Museum. So this artwork could become a kind of symbol in this area and attract people‘s attention. Besides, when night comes, the lights which are installed in the centre of the walls will be turned on. The position of these lights is designed on the top of the walls, which can produce a kind of peaceful atmosphere.
