Kinmen Pyramid Kinmen Pyramid proposes using 228,800 bottles of the celebrated Kinmen sorghum wine, the island's largest industry, and retired artilleries as components for what would be Taiwan's largest moument- a six-story high pyramid. A tree will grow from the pyramid's center and out of the top of the transparent structure, signifying regeneration and growth in Kinmen's transition from battlefield to a peaceful island of prosperity. A 30:1 scale model of the monument will be on view for BMoCA. Lin Hsing-Yueh was born in Taichung, Taiwan in 1939 and graduated from National Taiwan Normal University's Department of Fine Arts.
