Tuvalu Pavilion - Vincent J.F. Huang - Crossing the Tide. Crossing the Tide, reflects on the plea of small island nations facing the effects of global climate change. This is manifested by rising sea levels and increasing severe storms causing floods, and ultimately threatens the future of these small island nations such as Tuvalu, located in the Pacific Ocean. The flooded pavilion connects the flooding of the Tuvalu to the flooding of Venice. Crossing the Tide in the Tuvalu Pavilion over slightly submerged footbridges, visitors find themselves in an imaginary space — a dreamscape, consisting only of sky and water.
