Abstract: This study investigates the role of aesthetics expressed bamboo art installations in Daoming Bamboo Art Village as a catalyst for local cultural preservation and rural revitalization. This study employs methods such as documentary analysis, observation and interviews, utilizing symbolism as an analytical tool to collect and analyze data. The research question is how bamboo art installations contribute to the appreciation of natural aesthetics and support rural cultural identity and development. The results indicate that craftsmen use bamboo weaving, a traditional local art form, to convey the value of natural aesthetics. These bamboo installations have gained popularity in urban settings, where they are integrated into public spaces as decorative elements. They often feature motifs inspired by community environments and natural elements, influencing the structures, shapes, colors, and textures of the art pieces. The study highlights the dual impact of bamboo art installations: they strengthen the collective cultural identity of rural inhabitants and provide urban audiences with a sense of attachment and nostalgia for the natural world. This connection fosters increased consumption and economic prosperity in rural areas. The conclusion discusses the broader implications of urban appreciation for natural aesthetics on local identity, emphasizing the importance of returning to simplicity for driving sustainable transformations in rural development.
