Cascading Canyon

Cascading Canyon is an art installation inspired by the Grand Canyon. The work is made of paper and is completely hand folded and hand attached. More than 40,000 modular origami units of the Sonobe type form the surfaces, joined by built-in flaps and pockets. The installation is designed for a space of 8 by 4 by 8 feet and has three parts: a backdrop, a large rock and a smaller rock that can be used as a seat. Visitors walk through the setting and observe form, colour, light and shadow, recreating the feeling of moving through the canyon.

CityWood

CityWood is a wooden map artwork that presents a city as a three dimensional object. City streets, water and landscape are represented by separate wooden layers, and the layers create depth. Each layer of fine quality plywood is cut with laser technology, polished for a smooth surface and assembled by hand. The layers are set in a wooden frame that measures 450 mm in width, 450 mm in height and 30 mm in depth. The artwork can hang on a wall or stand on a desk. The natural grain of the wood makes each map different.

Alive

Alive is a kinetic art installation created for public interiors, offices and other public spaces. The movement of water, the source of all life, is the main inspiration. The base structure is made of MDF and holds a small, silent motor. The covering is made of neoprene with 2000 plexiglass details attached. The motor stretches the fabric and moves the small details clockwise in slow circles, creating a calm rhythm. Alive follows biophilic principles, which link contact with nature to better well-being indoors. The installation measures 1200 by 100 by 1200 millimeters.

Resonance

Resonance is a site specific floating light installation composed of seven modular black iron structures positioned in the waters of Yuejin Harbor. Inspired by the cyclical order of the Seven Luminaries, the installation translates celestial rhythms into sequences of programmed light that extend across water and shoreline. Woven nylon ropes act as both structural tension and luminous surfaces, diffusing light through the steel framework. Through reflections, spatial layering, and controlled light movement, the installation creates a dynamic visual field that shifts with distance and viewpoint.

Rebirth

Rebirth is an immersive commercial art space designed around the theme of renewal. The space tells the story of an artificial intelligence girl who recreates the earth in the future through memory extraction and remodeling. The interior is divided into three parts along the route of travel: the last earthling, the memory of the earth, and the creation. Simulated animals are made through 3D modeling, sculpture, mold production, painting and hair techniques. Built-in mechanical structures and control systems create lifelike movement.

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.
