Conch

The Conch combines nature's beauty with mathematical precision, featuring an elliptical Fibonacci spiral resembling a conch, infinity symbol, or musical note. Designed with parametric software, it consists of 30 layers of elliptical metal rings stacked precisely for a light, rhythmic structure. Concealed water pipes in the base create a hidden fountain at the sculpture's center. Symbolizing natural growth and cosmic energy flow, the spiral inspires contemplation on mathematics, nature, and aesthetics, enhancing urban landscapes with deep symbolism and cultural significance.

Cadence of the Spiral

Cadence of the Spiral explores time as something elastic, relational, and alive. A strip of stainless spring steel is shaped into an ever evolving form by thirty mechanical arms moving in subtle, phase shifted rhythms. As the spiral breathes, twists, and reorganizes itself, no two moments are ever the same. Inspired by the mainspring of a mechanical watch, the work reinterprets coiled metal as a vessel of stored energy and temporal flow. Rather than repeating motion, it reveals change through controlled variation, time is not measured but felt.

The Lighthouse of Wishes

The Lighthouse of Wishes is an art installation built on the coastline of the Aranya Community in Beidaihe, Hebei Province, China. The structure stands 12 metres tall and rests on a steel skeleton with a heavy steel base plate, so no foundation had to be dug into the sand. The facade is made of translucent polycarbonate panels, painted by members of the public with their wishes for the new year. Daylight passes between the inclined layers by day, while internal lighting reveals 204 painted panels at night. The steel and the panels can be recycled or reused.

Brilliance

Brilliance is a public sculpture installed in a courtyard pool at One Pengrui in Guangzhou, China. The work consists of eight copper fish that appear to swim in shallow water. Traditional Lingnan copper casting is combined with modern hot coloring, giving golden edges and a jasper-like surface. The fish are arranged to form flowing visual lines that guide viewers through the space. Lighting at the base mixes cool light strips with warm points to reveal the forms. Anti-corrosion treatment protects the copper. The sculpture measures 2600 mm in width, 766 mm in depth and 358 mm in height.
