Artificial Topography

Big Furniture Like a Cave This is the award-winning project won the Grand Prize of Art in Container International Competition. My idea is to hollow out the volume inside a container in order to build amorphous space like a cave. It is made of only plastic material. About 1000 sheets of the soft plastic material of 10-mm thickness were cut down in contour line form and were laminated like stratum. This is not only art but also big furniture. Because all the portions are soft like a sofa, and person who enter into this space can relax by finding the place suitable for the form of its own body.

Mystical Serpent

On the facade of a century old building in Shanghai China, Mystical Serpent was created a lighting art installation, blending serpent legends from ancient China and Rome. The winding 3D inflatable snake body is made of lightweight recyclable materials. It passes through the walls and windows that present a pseudo 3D effect by covering printed murals and pasting glass stickers. This installation connects the horizontal and vertical spaces, creating a three dimensional sense as a whole. It also brings a new visual experience to this century old building.

This monument expresses the memory of Life Science based on the genome sequence of DNA, the foundation of Life Science. Genome is the memory of life from its origins to the present, and the monument incorporates natural objects that have nurtured people, and craftsmanship passed down through the ages in Japan, as traces of life. Touching upon the origins that people have accumulated, the monument embodies the mysteries of life science revealed through human memories.

Conch

The Conch combines nature's beauty with mathematical precision, featuring an elliptical Fibonacci spiral resembling a conch, infinity symbol, or musical note. Designed with parametric software, it consists of 30 layers of elliptical metal rings stacked precisely for a light, rhythmic structure. Concealed water pipes in the base create a hidden fountain at the sculpture's center. Symbolizing natural growth and cosmic energy flow, the spiral inspires contemplation on mathematics, nature, and aesthetics, enhancing urban landscapes with deep symbolism and cultural significance.

Spiral Bloom

Spiral Bloom is a striking public art installation composed of three large-scale sculptures suspended within a minimalist architectural space. Each sculpture, made from 51 stainless steel components arranged in concentric spirals, reflects the dynamic forces of life and nature. Floating in a vast atrium, the artwork creates a visual dialogue between form, light, and space, symbolizing vitality, transformation, and the boundless potential of the future. Its ever-changing reflections and perspectives invite viewers to engage deeply with its message of unity, evolution, and hope.
