Sarah Lin’s pavilion assumes the form of the female breast, an acknowledgment of her own desire for motherhood as well as a reference to the shuttered Art Deco building next door, the former Salmon’s Maternity Home (established in 1950). A pink sculpture at the top of the structure evokes both a nippular tip and the form of Kwan Yin, one of whose aspects is a child-bestowing deity, the Sung Tze Kwan Yin.
