When people learn to cherish the fleeting moment and diligently work for nature’s sustainability, the hope that Pandora protects will eventually blossom into the flowers of the future.
In “Pandora’s Forest” for Mercedes-EQ’s new chapter, the artist Ching Ke Lin continues the concept and technique of the highly acclaimed bamboo flower-fabrication, hand-weaving bamboo stripes and turning its resistant and prolific quality into gorgeous and colorful flowers.
Along with the large-scale backdrop showing scenery of the skyline and waterfalls at the venues, it reveals the core faith of Mercedes-Benz as a pioneering car manufacturer and brand – to create an ideal realm where humans, machines, and nature coexist in harmony.
Is it possible for modern technology and nature to support each other?
Is it possible for external beauty and pure nature to exist at the same time?
When the artistic creation of bamboo blossoms and the brand-new Mercedes-EQ models come together to share the keywords of "carbon sequestration," "carbon reduction," and "zero carbon emission," the future of human life is now appearing like flowers and electricity, waiting for our hopes to converge into power and to experience the new chapter of prosperity and coexistence of beauty and goodness.
