About Echoes Sculptuur
Echo richt zich op de beeldtaal van zich uitbreidende rimpels en benut de hoge reflectiviteit van gepolijst roestvrij staal om het wisselende licht en de kleuren van de omgeving vast te leggen. Wanneer natuurlijk licht de sculptuur omhult, onthult het zich steeds ontwikkelende reflecties—die naar buiten golven als golven van geluid en herinnering. De vorm, die doet denken aan een druppel bevroren in de tijd, belichaamt zowel stilstand als beweging—een moment waarop energie condenseert om vervolgens weer naar buiten te stralen. Door het samenspel van licht en schaduw brengt het werk het ritme van het leven en de resonantie van de geest over.

- 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. - Dimensions & Packaging

- 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. - 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。 - 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。
