Pin River—Sandy represents Lin's ongoing exploration of environmental themes and cartographic abstraction using industrial materials. Her practice often addresses ecological concerns through minimalist forms that map natural phenomena. The installation's detailed photograph highlights the intricate arrangement of pins, creating a textured river-like pattern. This work continues Lin's series of Pin River pieces that visualize waterways and environmental events.
