Echoes Sculpture

Water exists in nature in various forms such as liquid, solid, and gas, and it is one of the most vital elements for nourishing all living things. If I were to interpret water through specific materials, I believe that mirrored stainless steel and glass best capture the essence of water. The key lies in how to encapsulate the moment when water falls and rebounds into a concrete image, and then use the properties of these materials to convey the spiritual imagery of water. Additionally, these two materials are capable of reflecting the texture of water beautifully in natural light, enhancing the visual effect and depth of the work.Selecting mirrored stainless steel is due to its reflective properties, which naturally resonate with the fluidity and reflective nature of water. The smooth surface of stainless steel, like a water surface, can capture and reflect surrounding light, creating a visual experience that changes with the environment. This feature allows the work to display a diverse range of expressions under different lighting conditions, symbolizing the changeable and lively nature of water.Glass, with its transparency and refractive qualities, conveys the purity and depth of water. When influenced by light, glass can produce a sparkling effect, reminiscent of water droplets shimmering in the sunlight. This texture not only imparts a sense of lightness and transparency to the work but also imbues it with an inner liveliness and vitality.Through the skillful combination of these two materials, I hope to capture and present the beauty and poetry of water in its dynamic moment, allowing viewers to feel the vitality and spiritual imagery of water when engaging with the work.

Due to the suspended, outward-expanding form of the artwork, coupled with its inherent structural support, I endeavored to scale the piece to a size that allows for human interaction. This amplification enhances opportunities for the public to engage closely with the artwork. Such a design not only increases accessibility but also offers viewers an immersive experience, allowing them to truly feel the integration of art and life. By enlarging the sculpture, I aim to create a public art space that is both aesthetically pleasing and functional, enabling more individuals to interact with and understand the underlying concepts and spirit of the work.

During the day, my artwork "Resonance" seamlessly integrates with the natural environment through the reflective and transparent qualities of stainless steel and crystal glass. However, at night, I aim to reveal the mysterious transparency of the crystal through hidden light sources within the sculpture, allowing the artwork to present a different allure.This design concept is inspired by my deep understanding of nature and light. Daylight allows the stainless steel and crystal glass to reflect dazzling brilliance, symbolizing the vitality and dynamism of life. At night, the hidden light source imbues the artwork with a serene and mysterious atmosphere, akin to an inner light of the soul, evoking tranquility and contemplation in the viewer. This transformation not only enables the piece to exhibit multi-layered beauty at different times of the day but also enhances its interactivity and emotional connection with the audience.
