About Incense 대나무 예술 설치작품
'인센스(Incense)'는 타이베이의 한 사원을 위해 제작된 대형 대나무 예술 설치작품이다. 이 작품은 향을 피우는 전통 의례를 재해석한다. 현지에서 조달한 타이완산 대나무를 열로 구부려 여러 겹으로 엮고, 반투명 직물을 더했다. 나선형의 형태는 피어오르는 연기의 움직임을 연상시킨다. 설치물의 규모는 너비 3000밀리미터, 깊이 3000밀리미터, 높이 4000밀리미터이다. 관람객은 구조물의 주위와 아래를 거닐며 대나무 엮음 사이로 스며드는 햇빛을 감상할 수 있다.

Behind the Design
Press Kit
Credits, team members and technical details provided by the designer.
- Unique Properties
- Incense is a large scale bamboo installation that reinterprets the ritual of incense burning through contemporary spatial art. By integrating translucent textiles with organic bamboo structures, the work captures the ephemeral quality of rising smoke. The installation invites viewers into a quiet encounter with spiritual transcendence, bridging traditional cultural practices and modern aesthetics.
- Dimensions & Packaging
- The installation measures 3000 millimeters in width, 3000 millimeters in depth, and 4000 millimeters in height.

- Bamboo installation, ritual art, incense culture, temple-inspired, spiritual design, contemporary craft, Taiwanese bamboo, ephemeral forms, faith and memory, sustainable installation
- Production Technology
- Crafted from locally sourced Taiwanese bamboo, the installation utilizes original weaving techniques developed by the artist. Through heat-bending, multi layered weaving, and precise structural calculations, the design forms a spiraling shape that echoes the movement of smoke. The work harmonizes engineering precision with the natural flexibility of bamboo, resulting in a structure that is both stable and ethereal.
- Design Challenge
- The primary challenge was achieving structural balance between visual lightness and physical stability. Traditional bamboo techniques were adapted for large scale application, requiring iterative experimentation, sensitivity to environmental factors, and thoughtful integration with the historical context of the sacred site.
- Research
- This project involved design research focused on reinterpreting incense rituals through the use of sustainable materials. The objective was to visualize ephemeral smoke using stable spatial forms. The process included material experimentation, digital simulation, and structural prototyping. The results highlighted bamboo’s potential to express intangible cultural heritage within a contemporary design framework.
- Inspiration
- Incense draws inspiration from the intangible cultural tradition of incense burning in Taiwanese temples. The ephemeral movement of smoke and its spiritual connotation are reimagined through contemporary spatial design, transforming invisible rituals into a meditative and immersive visual experience that connects memory, faith, and modern life.
- Project Duration
- The project was developed over a six month period in Taipei, with installation completed at Shilin Shen Nong Temple between August 8 and September 8, 2024.
- Operation Flow
- Viewers are invited to move around and beneath the installation, observing shifting patterns of light and shadow as natural sunlight filters through the bamboo weave. This dynamic interaction encourages quiet contemplation, evoking the transience of incense smoke and establishing a dialogue between spiritual ritual and contemporary interpretation.
