What are the challenges of displaying rattan sculptures in high-altitude environments?
Displaying rattan sculptures in high-altitude environments presents several unique challenges. The extreme temperature fluctuations and low humidity can cause the rattan to dry out, leading to cracking and brittleness. UV exposure at higher elevations accelerates fading and degradation of natural fibers. Additionally, strong winds and sudden weather changes may destabilize lightweight sculptures, risking damage. Transporting fragile rattan art to remote high-altitude locations also complicates logistics. Proper preservation techniques, such as humidity control and UV-resistant coatings, are essential to mitigate these risks and ensure the longevity of these intricate artworks.
