01 Floral Dance Interlocking of strength and beauty
2013
Buds bloom, wither, and fall. Their life blossoms in the dance of the petals.
Dancing is a moving art, where strength and beauty lives in every stretch, whirl, and leap. For audiences of dances, differing perspectives present varying fields of vision and degrees of sensations that trigger an exchange of passion, an encounter with beauty, and balance of strength.

Flower is the whole aggregation of many petals, which also means that the whole flower is diffused by many petals. The direction of aggregation and the direction of diffusion are opposite.

03Pollen Explodes age, embracement, compression 2013
Aging - Wrinkles have been perceived as the traces of time, as youthful and smooth skin is marred with folds and relaxes itself. Pollen is tightly embraced by the bud. During the process of aging, shape transformation introduces spatial variations, and consequent compression leads to outward explosion. Changes in the number of edges are used as an indicator of aging. A larger number of veins is associated with senility. Pollen is a medium of reproduction in flowers. I regard pollen as dissectible and combinable units that can be manipulated to form spaces of various sizes to accommodate our needs.

04Floral Of DNA double-stranded helices 2013
In the double-stranded helices of DNA, the genes and nucleic acid intertwine in exquisite complexity. Bearing a remarkable resemblance are the veins of flowers and leaves, which are governed and channeled through by an order vaguely present and where points are joined at corresponding junctures. Mirroring the two sides of a coin, one strand whirls with the other side of the other strand, forming a twist that embodies and contrasts strength and beauty.

05 Misreading reading and thinking

The definition of misreading is the process of creations in the subjective view of reading the art. When reading this famous painting “Composition IX” by Theo van Doesburg, I analyzed the color and the contrast between light and dark.
Theo van Doesburg “Composition IX”
First, by the level of gray scale in Z-axis, I converted the picture in gray scale and organized points on the picture.

Second, I used contour to section the organization and to get section in layers.

Third, when misread this painting b psychology, playing cards is the warfare between the realistic side and the psychological side with replacing the position for each other.
When one person who stood the position of the realistic side played the cards, the other one thought the best next step in the position of the psychological side. I defined that the section is the position, and players just move their think and replace their position in these layers. Thus the point which they changed position was defined the covert point, and the green and blue blocks on the painting were the move path in the game for changing positions.

less is more 2011
Zen is an attitude of living.
With natural color, texture, softlight and the balance together form the elements thay they collude in every possible aspect of design, this room has the sense of the composedness. I hope that the people live in the room can get releasing the pressure and quiet their mind.
