Echoes

Sculpture for GOOD STYLE CREATIVE CO., LTD.

The concept of "Echoes" comes from the image of the bounce of water droplets from the other side. It made of stainless steel and glass, after polishing the surface, will show the same characteristics as water. Sometimes you will find clouds in the sky flowing on it.In addition to being a artwork, it considers ergonomics in the planning of dimensions, allowing people to interact with Echoes at close range. At night, the lights hidden in the stainless steel water droplets, "Echoes" seems to have become a luminous body floating in the air.

Unique Properties

I get my inspirations from life and nature. I also like to express my viewpoint through simple stuff. I like to explore the potential of materials and techniques.A lot of ordinary materials, actually have a soul to me. I will transform them into a valuable new life through my magical hands and creative ideas. I hope my works carry the message of treasuring all earth resources and carry the concept of sustainable growth.

Production Technology

Material : Stainless Steel + Class

Design Challenge

The biggest challenge is to express a concept from a spiritual level via an abstract approach. It’s critical to choose the right materials to clearly express the inner feelings as materials speak different languages when it comes to art creation. In so doing, the audience can relate to the creation. Another challenge is to combine stainless steel and glass. After a number of trial and error due to their nature in production, I finally found a way to piece them together in a natural way.

Project Duration

This work was created in 2014 in Taiwan and finished in October 2015. It was exhibited in The 26th UBE Biennale at the UBE tokiwa Museum in Japan。

Research

I chose to use mirrored stainless steel and glass to interpret the image of water. Because these two materials can be as clear and bright as water in the sun and the environment. The water drops and rebounds in a moment of high and low undulations, symbolizing the vision of people working hard to build a beautiful world in different positions.

Inspiration

Based on the concept of “water”, Water drops falling on water surface, create concentric circles of ripples, spreading gently outwards. The recoil from the vitality of this flowing force breaks the limits of space, just as when an actor unites his intellectual vitality with physical energy; gentle on some occasions violent on others; water displays scene after breathtaking scene, riveting to behold, and continuously re-enacted throughout the world。
