She created three abstract animations each inspired by a different Tang dynasty poem: Dreaming of the Southern Shore by Bai Juyi (772-846), Welcome Rain on a Spring Night by Du Fu (712-770) and Written in a Village South of the Capital by Cui Hu (772-846). Fung was drawn to poems which romantically evoked powerful visual images of spring.
‘In In Dreaming of A Southern Shore he talks about the sea and the riverside flowers being “redder than sapphire”.’ says Fung. ‘Each of the poems describe a very different idea of spring, and it was important to me that when I read the poems that there was something for me to visualise, so that I could imagine where the poets were and represent it in 3D.’ She also worked with the London sound design studio Sounds Like These to create the aural backdrop to the animations. ‘I wanted to represent each poem in a sensual way, so that it's almost like you’re there and the poem is speaking out to you through the animation.’
