Same But Different

Same But Different is an art installation that turns smell into a physical form. The work is based on isomers, which are compounds with the same chemical formula but a different arrangement of atoms, and can therefore carry two different smells. Each sculpture holds two related smells and joins their molecular shapes in one form. The forms are 3D printed and coated with several layers of holographic paint applied by an industrial airbrush. Internal chambers with absorbent materials preserve the smells, which diffuse outward through thin conduits. Visitors can hold and smell each piece.

Echoes

The concept of "Echoes" comes from the image of the bounce of water droplets from the other side. It made of stainless steel and glass, after polishing the surface, will show the same characteristics as water. Sometimes you will find clouds in the sky flowing on it.In addition to being a artwork, it considers ergonomics in the planning of dimensions, allowing people to interact with Echoes at close range. At night, the lights hidden in the stainless steel water droplets, "Echoes" seems to have become a luminous body floating in the air.

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.
