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.

- 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

- 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。
