Spiral Bloom

Spiral Bloom is a striking public art installation composed of three large-scale sculptures suspended within a minimalist architectural space. Each sculpture, made from 51 stainless steel components arranged in concentric spirals, reflects the dynamic forces of life and nature. Floating in a vast atrium, the artwork creates a visual dialogue between form, light, and space, symbolizing vitality, transformation, and the boundless potential of the future. Its ever-changing reflections and perspectives invite viewers to engage deeply with its message of unity, evolution, and hope.

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.

The Legacy of the Art Tree

The Legacy of the Art Tree is a wall-hanging artwork inspired by the old trees that stand beside historic buildings in Taiwan. The crown is formed with pave setting techniques and uses white and green rhinestones in thirty different sizes, arranged across 201 leaves in four sizes. The trunk is finished with 24K gold leaf applied by traditional Japanese methods. The frame is made of Taiwanese cypress with hidden joinery. Other materials include resin, stainless steel and anodized titanium. The piece measures 150 cm in length and 110 cm in height, and reflects natural daylight.

Colorise

Colorise is an art installation created for the fountain of a shopping centre. Twelve transparent plexiglass posts of varied heights and colours form a unified sculptural rhythm. The posts were made by bonding pre-cut plexiglass panels with acrylic cement to achieve clean edges without visible glue marks. Each post rests on a concrete base placed within the shallow water. Daylight and moving water pass through the coloured surfaces and create changing reflections. Visitors experience the shifting colours simply by walking around the fountain.

Sacred Blessing

Sacred Blessing is a site-specific art installation created for a temple in Taiwan. The work translates temple prayer rituals into a contemporary spatial form. The structure is shaped like open hands and stands about 5200 mm high. Modular timber units are joined by precise interlocking assembly, with few fasteners. Wood and bamboo are used for sustainability and for a natural visual character. Visitors can step inside the hands, where engraved wooden scripts surround them. The installation invites quiet reflection on faith and heritage.

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.
