Fountain of Life

Fountain of Life is a large scale public artwork installed in a restaurant at Istanbul Airport. The sculpture combines a hand carved travertine stone fountain with hand sculpted glass splashes. The stone fountain refers to the past, while the glass splashes, shaped to appear as if rising from the fountain, express the present moment. The stone fountain is 3000 mm high, and the glass forms range from 400 mm to 1000 mm in height. Polished stone and semi transparent glass change in appearance as light moves across the surfaces.

Mystical Serpent Light Art Installation

Mystical Serpent

Mystical Serpent is a light art installation created on the facade of a century-old building in Shanghai, China. The work blends serpent legends from ancient China and ancient Rome. The main body is an inflatable form made of lightweight recyclable material, winding through the building windows and across the ground. Printed fabric on the walls and stickers on the glass form a mural with a pseudo three-dimensional effect. Eastern and Western motifs are combined in a unified color scheme. The installation links horizontal and vertical spaces and gives the old facade a new appearance.

Conch Public Installation

Conch

The Conch combines nature's beauty with mathematical precision, featuring an elliptical Fibonacci spiral resembling a conch, infinity symbol, or musical note.

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.

Red House Exhibition

Red House

Red House is an art installation created for a lantern festival in Taipei. The work forms a tunnel corridor of eight sides, built from stainless steel pipe and laser cut metal sheets. Each side carries carved images of the Ximending area placed in chronological order, starting with the Red House building of 1908. Computer controlled LED lights illuminate the panels and brighten the street. Fluorocarbon baking paint protects the surfaces for long term display. Visitors walk through the corridor and read the history of the city through pictures rather than text.

Cryptographic Beings Artwork

Cryptographic Beings

Cryptographic Beings is an art installation that stores digital data in living algae. The work consists of thirty vegetal bits, each one a glass vessel holding filamentous algae. Photosynthesis produces gas vesicles, so the algae float in light and sink in darkness. Each floating or sinking state represents a digital zero or one, and the installation can store a five letter word. Motorized robotic arms control the light reaching every vessel, and a custom colour sensor reads each state. The machine runs autonomously for months during an exhibition.
