Public Art “Ribbon of Hope”
Visitors to Dapeng Bay Marina will not want to miss the hope ribbon figures on the wooden walkway of the wharf. "Ribbon of Hope" is the first public art work jointly created by the HOPE FOUNDATION for CANCER CARE and crossover artist "Mr. Eyeball" in response to 2022 World Cancer Day. The piece offers a different approach to cancer education through the healing power of art and has become one of the beautiful attractions of Dapeng Bay.
"Ribbon of Hope" is Taiwan's first cancer prevention and treatment public art work.
The concept behind "Ribbon of Hope" comes from the ribbon color coding of various cancers around the globe. Combined with Mr. Eyeball's proprietary character "Think Too Much," it is the first public art work for cancer prevention and treatment in Taiwan.
Eleven figures, each 180cm in height and representing different cancers are lined up and particularly eye-catching under the sunlight. On closer inspection, positive words from cancer patients are engraved on the back of each figure; if you are curious about a certain cancer scan the QR code to link to the website for more information. It is hoped that this public art work will help to raise public awareness of cancer prevention and treatment.
With its cute style and deep subject matter, "Ribbon of Hope" has not only become a popular travel check-in spot, it is also an excellent focal point for parents to talk to their children about health issues. If you want to add a healing element to your tour, be sure to include "Ribbon of Hope" on your travel checklist.
