The Design

About Dancing Flower Sculpture

This design project is a sculpture motivated by studying the beauty of form.Flowers blooming in spring are elegant dancers, and their beautiful grace blooms in glory and enthusiasm with the wind. The work cleverly uses the kinetic energy of sculptural shapes and the tension of metallic colors to show the imagination of flowers and flowing volume. As if a modern ballet dancer is performing with rich gestures in the theater.

Interviews

Grand Interview

Your innovative approach to capturing the ephemeral beauty of nature in Dancing Flower Sculpture is remarkable - could you share the specific moment or experience that inspired you to translate the dance of flowers in the wind into bronze?

The issue that sculpture and ballet face together is "gravity", which is the matter of "support". Due to the different dynamic and static supporting conditions, a unique composition method and shape interest are created. Inspired by modern ballet, Auguste Rodin (1840-1917) allowed modern sculpture to step out of the established framework of the pedestal and gave the shape the freedom to stretch its own will. The subsequent development approaches such as Futurism (1909-1915), Constructivism (1917-1921), and Kinetic Art (1920-) have become one of the spiritual guides for sculpture to explore modern spatial phenomena. Abstract sculpture not only develops the grammar of visual aesthetics in which people use shapes to interpret psychology and emotions, but also gets rid of the passive purpose of replicating nature and reproducing reality, thereby touching the hearts of modern people with more concise and direct appeals. After being baptized by non-traditional raw materials and welding industrial technology, sculpture materials have stronger applicability and freer choices in application. The composition of sculpture no longer needs to rely on visual psychological support or other cognitive aesthetics. Formation becomes a material form of ideas, a spiritual and aesthetic sharing.

The interplay of light and shadow in Dancing Flower Sculpture creates an almost theatrical performance - how did your understanding of ballet and modern dance influence the final sculptural form and its ability to suggest movement in static bronze?

"Movement and light drive away the concreteness of objects." - Futurist Manifesto, 1910."Kinetic Rhythms, which will be the basic form by which we experience actual time." - 1920 Realist Manifesto.The energy of the sculpture creator comes from willpower. The more energetic something is, the less it can be formed, produced or understood in terms of form. Only imagination and sensitivity derived from the ontology of life can be permanent, magnificent and infinite.

The dimensions of Dancing Flower Sculpture (86cm in height) seem to create an intimate yet commanding presence - what considerations guided your decision-making process regarding scale and proportions to achieve this delicate balance?

I appreciate the worldview described by quantum mechanics, and I like to start from a humble belief and explore the original aesthetic interest of things around me. This belief is the energy basis for the creator to shape himself and the world. This is why he is able to realize the possibility of "flowers blooming for me and all things living for me". The ancients said, "The external teacher creates good fortune, and the inner source is the source of the heart." Through the accumulation of aesthetic experience, I believe that people can absorb this universal resonance, either intellectually or perceptually, in a personal way of interpretation under the triggering perception of aesthetic situations. As for the creator's motivation: shape is the material form of an idea. Once an energy or experience with aesthetic value is confirmed, it must be readily shared with others in a concise and refined form.

Design Challenge
As a professional sculptor, Jason likes to experience the taste of life with perceptual observation in the subtle moments, and also likes the ever-changing situation of game shapes in the poetic imaginary space. For Jason, art creation is to share various moods and stories in daily life.
Research
The research and design process of this project includes: sketching, design finalization, mold making, metal casting, surface grinding and anti-rust treatment, etc.
Inspiration
Sea breeze and mountain mist not only show shape and color, but also the feeling of temperature. The morning sun and glow, in addition to the beauty of light and shadow, also have the smell of fresh air. Memories of light, shadow, temperature and smell are often clues to the beauty in people’s lives. The creative motive of Dancing Flower is to condensate the beauty of flowers dancing in the breeze with elegant and sincerely poetic mood between the flowing time and beautiful light.
Project Duration
The project started in October 2023 in Taiwan and finished in Aril 2024.
Operation Flow
Sculpture uses visual techniques of color, shape, and texture to interpret the beauty of light, shadow, rhythm, and volume. The beauty of sculpture is actually to use light, shadow and shape to echo and evoke various beautiful memories in people's daily life.
