Deblo je dodelano s 24-karatnimi zlatimi lističi, nanesenimi po tradicionalnih japonskih metodah. Okvir je izdelan iz tajvanske ciprese s skritimi lesnimi spoji. Med drugimi materiali so smola, nerjaveče jeklo in anodiziran titan. Delo meri 150 cm v dolžino in 110 cm v višino ter odseva naravno dnevno svetlobo.

The pursuit of profound wisdom not only embodies the eternal vitality of the tree but also presents its splendor through the inlaying of thirty sizes of sparkling rhinestones. The 24K gold leaf gilding adds a layer of treasure-like radiance to the trunk, resembling a poetic dialogue.

Production Technology: The tree's crown is crafted using ancient diamond pavé techniques, the trunk made with century-old Japanese gold leaf craftsmanship, and the outer frame employs hidden woodworking joinery. The materials include white rhinestones, green rhinestones, resin, electroplating, 24K gold leaf, stainless steel, anodized titanium, Taiwanese cypress(Hinoki), and dyes.
Design Challenge: The creative language of contemporary jewelry involves using various sizes gemstones, applied through different setting techniques, covering the surface in a rich display of jewelry design. This work challenges the intricacies of diamond surface sizes ranging from 90mm to 0.8mm, utilizing a total of 30 different sizes. Additionally, the piece features 201 leaves in four distinct sizes. The setting process was exceptionally challenging.
Research: Through the symbolism of an ancient tree, the focused spirit of the ancestors is continuously passed down to future generations. The eternal nature of diamonds is used to express the tree's inner energy and the limitless accumulation of its spirit.
Inspiration: Many historically significant buildings in Taiwan are guarded by a tree. Its roots dig deep into the soil, stabilizing the foundation, loyally entrenched in the earth, witnessing the connection between the building and human emotional values.
Project Duration: The project began in Oct. 2023, Taipei, and was completed in Jun. 2024, with installation at the Yongji construction site in Xinyi District.
Operation Flow: With natural light streaming in through the floor-to-ceiling windows, the diamond tree resembles a master craftsman, distilling all its essence into the scene. It reflects different emotional atmospheres, saturating every corner in the interplay of light and shadow, and this brilliance guides the viewer to experience the infinite value of architectural craftsmanship.
