About Turning Fa'atusa

O le matagi e se'e i luga o le vai e mafiafia, tu'ufa'atasi ma fa'apotopoto i le malamalama ma le agi. O le malosi le vaaia i le ea e tafe fa'atasi ma le fati malie, o nisi taimi e mafiafia ma tumu; o nisi taimi e lamolemole ma sa'oloto. E pei o se tagata siva matagofie, o lo'o ta'alogo ma oso i se taimi ma avanoa fa'afuase'i, e pei o se matagi fa'asologa mai ma matagofie.

Behind the Design

Unique Properties: The wind gliding on the water is dense, discrete and aggregated in the light and air current. The invisible energy in the atmosphere drifts along with the light rhythm, sometimes thick and full; sometimes smooth and unrestrained. Like a graceful dancer, whirling and jumping in a serendipitous time and space, like a streamlined and elegant wind.
Dimensions & Packaging: Dimensions: L120 x W66 x H60 cm

Production Technology: Material: Cast stainless steel and coated with titanium
Inspiration: My creation likes to interpret kinetic energy or dynamics from the aesthetic context of Futurism (1909-1915) and Constructivism (1917-1921). The speed and continuous movement displayed by the kinetic energy of nature and animals are often full of charming energy images. I pursue the beauty of dynamic energy itself that can be interpreted in an unassuming and elegant manner at the moment of defying gravity, flying in the air, and sliding.
