Mr Eggo is a collectible glass object made by hand in an Istanbul atelier. The design combines an egg-shaped body with a dense spiral that wraps around the form. Mr Eggo is shaped while the glass is hot, at 1200 degrees Celsius, using traditional mouth-blown techniques and metal tools. Multi-stage polishing and controlled cooling give the surface high optical clarity. The spiral appears to change rhythm when the object is viewed from different angles. Each colour is produced in a limited edition of 20 pieces. The form draws on the dome of Hagia Sophia and on the egg as a symbol of potential.

Motifs of seasonal flowers, branches and flowing water shift slowly, drawing on the Japanese appreciation of impermanence. Each piece is registered on a blockchain registry to record its provenance.
Synthetic Blue is a sculpture that resembles a jellyfish. The sculpture is made entirely from reclaimed disposable plastic utensils, thermally reshaped and permanently embedded in resin. The dome form is created through compression and controlled heat, preserving surface textures that recall biological membranes. The piece rests in a shallow resin basin framed in wood, which suggests a reflective water surface. Viewers first read the object as a marine organism, then recognize the discarded plastic, a shift that draws attention to the effect of waste on ocean life.

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.
Between Force and Stillness is a public sculpture created for a national tennis center in Beijing, China. The work interprets a tennis form through 24 sphere shaped units arranged along a vertical axis, evoking natural rhythm and cyclical time. The composition draws on Daoist thought, in which movement and stillness are understood as mutually dependent. Mixed media are used, including fiberglass, marble, weather resistant automotive paint and lighting. Modular construction allows separate shipping and assembly on site.

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.
Inspired by the Manchurian colored window, the work employs generative digital imagery, mirrored environments, and multisensory elements of music, light, and motion to create an ever shifting visual field reminiscent of quantum particles. As viewers move through the space, evolving ink textures framed by geometric abstraction invite moments of meditation and reflection. Through its exploration of humanity, cosmology, microscopic and macroscopic worlds, and the interplay between tradition and innovation, the work examines the dynamic entanglement of culture, nature, and the new technologies.
