我选择用玻璃来展示汉字“上海”,以代表现代性、建筑性和美感。
因为“上海”这个词的汉字的词源意思是“在海上”,所以在背景中我选择用波浪形状来代表大海。我参考了中国剪纸艺术的悠久历史,让它们看起来好像是从纸上剪下来的。

I chose to represent the Chinese characters for "Shanghai" in glass to represent modernity, architecture, and beauty.
Because the etymology of the Chinese characters that form the word "Shanghai" mean "Upon the Sea" I chose to represent the sea with the wave shapes in the background. I made them to appear as if cut from paper to reference China's long history of paper-cut art.
