“Nostalgia” carries hometown memory and feeling. It is initially inspired by window gratings that are commonly found in Taiwan, which is a stylized metal barrier installed in front of windows to keep out thieves, starting around the 1950s. Nowadays, it is more than a barrier but art elaboration. With a combination of history and art, “Nostalgia” shows classic and elegancy.
