Several alumni of National Kinmen Senior High School have donated their artwork to their alma mater.
Designer Yang Shuh-sen, who’s known for making paintings on driftwood, has donated two of his pieces to his high school. Yang joins watercolor painter Yang Hsiu-chuan and other artists in decorating the high school’s highway with works of art.
The school is located on Kinmen, a group of islands just off the southeast coast of Mainland China, currently under Taiwan’s administration. The islands were once considered a frontline in the battle between the two sides after the end of the Chinese civil war.
Today, the islands’ main economy has transitioned to tourism, and a significant proportion of its residents tend to seek work on the main island of Taiwan.
