Superegg

Superegg represents the rapid multiplying of single use coffee capsules, which symbolises human convenience and its impact on the environment. Appearing levitated above ground, the textured geometric superegg shape, as documented by mathematician Gabriel Lame, is dotted with random discarded coffee capsules arranged into perfect lines. The visceral experience engages the viewer from all angles and distances. Over 3000 capsules were collected via a call to action on social media and the local community. Superegg allows the viewer to peruse waste and encourages new recycling habits.

Flow With The Sprit Of Water

Often community environments are polluted by the inter- and intra-personal dissonances of their inhabitants which results in visible and invisible chaos in the surroundings. The unconscious effect of this disorder is that inhabitants regress into restlessness. This habitual and cyclical agitation influences the body, mind, and spirit. The sculptures guide, groom, purify, and strengthen the positive "chi" of a space, focusing on pleasant and peaceful outcomes. With a subtle shift in their environment, the public is guided towards a balance between their inner and external realities.

Horn

Horn is a large-scale pottery art installation created for a public park in Luye Township, Taiwan. The form is shaped as antlers, with one short branch set forward and one long branch set backward, creating a height difference and a reverse spiral symmetry. The design refers to local deer legends and to the annual hot air balloon event of the area. The clay and glaze are fired above 1,200 degrees, so the surface is hard, non-toxic, weather-resistant and colourfast. The work stands about 450 centimetres high and can be viewed, touched or used as a seat.

Blue Phoenix

Blue Phoenix is a sculpture comprising interlocked aluminum parts coated with a digital print pattern. It was created in the midst of the coronavirus pandemic and global conflict, and celebrates life and progress in challenging and unpredictable times. The metal core, which changes in length, rotates in a graceful arc, as if a bird is opening its wings. It is anchored by a flat base which enhances the sense of upward and outward movement. From every angle, the sculpture offers a captivating and evolving visual experience, symbolizing human resilience and endeavor.

Blings

Like the Walk of Fame in Los Angeles of the US, the Xiamen Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Coast was built for the event of China Golden Rooster Film Festival, which mainly features Blings. The installation is set against the backdrop of the sea, with the bridge floor as the base, composed of 15 stainless steel Blings based on local crude stones as the prototype, which represents completeness as the full moon. On the floor are inlaid the floor-lamps, which add radiance with the lights inside the Blings at night, showing a scene of brilliant and sparkling stars.

Infinity Vessel

Infinity Vessel is a glass crown created as wearable art. Each crown is made to measure, so it fits only the head of one wearer. A 3D scan records the exact shape of the head, and the crown is then formed from mouth-blown glass using traditional methods. Every piece carries its own characteristics. The average size is 25 x 25 x 25 cm. Glass was chosen for its fragility and its strength, and for the way light passes through the material. The crown reflects the individuality of the person who wears it.
