Source of design ideas

I have a wide range of interests, which drives me to appreciate and enjoy art and motivates me to keep high enthusiasm toward all things. I’m not only an amateur artist but also an interior designer with a martial art background. I’ve always loved art; therefore, I’ve chosen to become am interior designer. I especially love to participate in charitable events, and was once the club director of Lions Clubs International. One of my paintings was also donated for charity at Art Revolution Taipei 2013.

Nature, primitive and simplicity represent the start of humanities and cultures. Totem Design guards the essence of the original spirit by creating the aesthetic of space from conversations between humanity and nature, interpreting the liveliness of space and culture.

It is about the conversations between humanity and nature and the harmony created through space. Let’s return to the starting point and dig deep into the conversation between human and space. Let’s view with different perspectives and lead life to walk into the path of beautiful harmony that consists of nature and delight.

I like designs that are carried out naturally through constant innovations and inner conversations between one’s conscious and senses.

Any design that can enrich the substance of life, that allows you to accumulate both inner and outer energy is a good design.

In the future, more emphasis will be put on environmental protection, changing lifestyles and cultures which lead to the interweave and integration of various fields

Thinking from a Buddhist perspective, creating canvas paintings, learning martial arts and charity events are all things that inspired me, for thinking determines everything, art fulfills life, martial arts strengthen your health and charity events are accesses to service.

I tend to utilize the creating model of oil painting to make organization. For instance, I include all elements such as color, shade, texture, line and structures to compose the melody of design. I mix and match all elements to create a sketch of a painting, and that’s my style and characteristics.

Taiwan is a country that breeds energy. It has developed so far from the period of Dutch occupation, when Zheng ChengGong first arrived Taiwan; from Ching dynasty to the democracy Taiwan we recognize today. Taiwan’s rich energy in historical development clashes the land with great spirit that inspires many designs.

I start thinking from a dot, then it will extend to a line and expand into a surface. Then it will clash, stimulate, overlap, accumulate and eventually retroact onto space. Everything starts from simplicity to complex then complex back to simplicity. In the end the most exquisite part stays.

Be confident about your design, gain energy from different perspectives that will intrigue your conscious and sensation. Don’t worry too much about the reputation of your project. Instead, you should consistantly enrich your knowledge about humanity and arts to lay the groundwork for good creation.

I suggest people to approach all kinds of art to cultivate connoisseurship and elevate your own temperament. Designers’ own depth and how they feel about beauty can give their projects liveliness and spirituality, and continue to carry out conversations with people through their projects.

In international color theory, the combination of yellow and gray represents "stability with hope." "Menstrual color" is considered a natural, normal physiological phenomenon, where yellow symbolizes vitality and hope, while gray represents stability and tranquility.After the outbreak of the pandemic, the use of color energy allowed people to look forward to overcoming grief, taking firm steps, and embracing hope and anticipation.

From an Eastern perspective: the Buddha's "original face" and Lao Tzu's "Tao Te Ching" philosophical concepts—returning to the essential elements of matter as they should be (exposed brick walls and visible wires)—combined with the Western Pantone 2021 Color of the Year, the bold color combinations make it vibrant and full of life—and this is the foundation of fitness activities.

Through the combination of vibrant elements, colors, and powerful diagonal lines, a lively and energetic atmosphere is created, naturally generating a "people-oriented" approach that directly corresponds to efficiency, thereby strengthening the body and mind, transmitting positive energy, and accumulating hope and happiness for the future.

"Z Power," structured with steel, much like the human body's skeletal structure, embodies a sense of "power."The international color palette, combined with the overall design, imbues the work with a design soul, igniting a flame of life. In the current context of the pandemic, the work also carries a sense of mission and hope for our times.

During the pandemic, reducing large-scale contact and lowering the chance of infection – adopting niche fitness methods.Through the energy of color and geometric proportions, people can improve their health through physical exercise and immunity by interacting in the community.

Red represents passion and vitality, while green represents natural health, just like the health and vitality displayed by nature. It also originates from Lao Tzu's "Tao follows nature," allowing life to run freely in nature.

The selection of all materials followed the theme of "preserving the original appearance and simplifying complexity." Therefore, H-beams were used in the building to retain the factory's production process numbers, exposed brick walls and electrical wires are clearly visible, and large areas of paint use Pantone's International Color of the Year - a meaningful color scheme, integrated into the overall design.

Space is a medium, and the "people" who move in this space are the focus.How to use line structural force, color psychology, equipment and facilities to provide field users with reasonable achievement of their expectations is the ultimate goal.

The simple yet bold use of color, along with the perfect proportions of the lines, creates meaningful geometric shapes. Through lines and different color psychology, it generates resonant energy that inspires every fitness user.

The discussion began with an exploration of the essence of health goals, which led to the selection of specific element combinations. This, in turn, created a resonant energy halo effect in the design field, naturally inspiring fitness enthusiasts to exercise and achieve better health through physical activity.
