Heart Maze

This is an art installation in an art workshop, a maze installation related to heart. It ostensibly looks like an exhibition for a charity jewelry event, with a contrasting black and red design that takes full advantage of the visual impact of mirrored surfaces and colored transparent acrylic. But in reality, it was a carefully curated proposal. It means that love is like walking in a maze, looking for something, you need to find the right person at the right time and find the right route (answer) to reach the final exit. And there is only one exit-lover.

Breathing Apple

Breathing Apple is an art installation that also serves as a chair. The form keeps the outline of an apple, with irregular indentations that suggest a body reshaped by pressure. The indentation and recovery of the surface express the idea of breathing and of inner revival. The piece is hand stitched from leather scraps discarded by factories. Natural color variations, visible stitching lines and untrimmed edges create a warm and tactile texture. Ergonomics guide the curves, so the work can be shown as display art or used as everyday seating.

Open Work

Open Work is a performative spatial space. It is shaped around the metaphors of consciousness and thresholds. Abstract gates and the plan created by surfaces that function like instruments turn into an experience of exchange with the visitor's touch. It intentionally emphasizes monumentality but as visitors interact with the space, this untouchability gives way to an auditory quality and flexibility. This theatrical space is not grounded anywhere and carries its roots along with it, the system is mobile. This structure is also a gentle question mark to the emerging new world right before humans.
