Heart Maze

This is an art installation in an art workshop, a maze installation related to heart. It ostensibly looks like an exhibition for a charity jewelry event, with a contrasting black and red design that takes full advantage of the visual impact of mirrored surfaces and colored transparent acrylic. But in reality, it was a carefully curated proposal. It means that love is like walking in a maze, looking for something, you need to find the right person at the right time and find the right route (answer) to reach the final exit. And there is only one exit-lover.

Heaven Bloom

Heaven Bloom is a kinetic installation placed in the lobby of a building inspired by nature in Taichung City, Taiwan. The work is composed of 144 mechanical metal flowers made of aluminium and stainless steel. Different finishes were applied to the metal to create special textures and colours. Each flower contains more than 50 mechanical components and is driven by a motor. The flowers open out of the wall surface and sway to the background music. Four melodies relate to the four seasons, so the moving flowers form a near-natural scene indoors.

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.

Coralarc

Coralarc utilizes algorithms to simulate the rules of pushing, and growing among cells. After dynamic stacking along the time axis, it gradually forms an organic curved surface. The work utilizes transparent materials to express the beautiful changing form and pure luster of undersea corals, while its colors are the coexistences of the people interacting with the lights, as well as the scenery on the beautiful bay. Through the properties of material, it echoes the endless coastline and sky when the viewer looks out at the sea, and shows different appearances in different periods.
