現在的時局戰亂紛擾不斷
疫情、極端氣候、經濟低迷

受人工智慧影響的失業率
社會彌漫著焦慮恐慌的情緒

若是人工智慧取代了人類
我們如何從工具人的角色
過渡回歸自然人的生活價值

擺脫長期被工業法人的控制
找回自然人天真純樸的快樂

所以在亂世中面對焦慮無助
我們更要回歸初心享受生活
以赤子之心在大自然中共舞
大家互相支持鼓勵共創美好

Celebration and Joy

In the midst of the current chaotic and troubled times,
with pandemic, extreme weather, and economic hardship,
people find themselves in a state of uncertainty and anxiety.

Furthermore, the rising unemployment influenced by artificial intelligence
has created a pervasive atmosphere of anxiety and panic in society.

If AI were to replace humans,
how can we transition from being tools
and reclaim the intrinsic value of human life?

Breaking free from the long-held control of corporate entities,
we rediscover the pure happiness of being natural individuals.

Being genuinely happy as beings born from within!

Therefore, in the face of anxiety and helplessness in this tumultuous world,
we must return to our original intentions and embrace the joy of living,
dancing together in nature with childlike innocence,
supporting and encouraging each other to create a beautiful future.

Let's celebrate and rejoice in new beginnings together.

There is a mysterious force of mutual attraction between the Earth and the Moon,

giving rise to the tidal phenomena we are so familiar with.
When moonlight touches the crescent’s tip,
one can feel the surging waves of moonlight’s flow,
inviting us to reflect on how to find peace within our body and mind.

A touch of moonlight penetrates the heart,
Flowing through the river of time.

Sometimes bright, sometimes dim,
Rising and falling,
A touch of moonlight
Is always there.

Flow With The Spirit Of Water  2024
Platinum A' Design Award Winner  2020

Crystal Park New York USA 
SUS 316  W 5m × D 3m × H 3.75m

The highest form of goodness is like water,
With an inner vitality and sense of flow.
Water is constantly changing, vaporizing, slowly condensing, and then flowing back,
Like the cycles of energy in nature.

Jade is a stone that has been nourished by pure water flow,
Using stainless steel to present a jade-like texture.
Therefore, by constantly removing impurities and preserving the essence of life through the flow of thoughts,
We can return to the original purpose of our lives.

水的狀態是無時無刻都在改變,隨時在汽化,慢慢凝結,然後再回流

所以心念流轉隨時去蕪存菁,
才能回到生命的初心。

Mirror Finish Stainless Steel 316  W 5.6m × D 2.6m × H 1.6m / W 3.1m × D 2.3m × H 1.1m

Wild geese, migratory birds, fly thousands of miles with the sinking winds.
With one gust of wind, a feather falls gently onto the lake.
The feather floats aimlessly, just like that moment without purpose.
Suddenly, I become aware of the atmosphere of living in the present moment,
feeling the moment when my life merges with the energy of nature. 

The brief moment of solitude moves me in a way that thoughts cannot possibly express.
When I am not being carried away by worldly desires or troubles,
I am truly with myself, just like the feeling when a feather softly drifts to the ground.

野雁候鳥遷徙幾萬里,隨著這個下沉低迴的風,
飄落了一片羽毛,然後悠悠蕩蕩的,落在湖面上,
那羽毛泛若不繫之舟,就是那個沒有目的性的片刻,
突然覺察到自己的心情有活在當下的氛圍,
感受到自己生命跟大自然能量結合的剎那。

自己獨處的片刻有種感動不會被念頭帶著跑,
不被世俗的慾望或煩惱帶著跑的時候,
你跟自己真正在一起,如同一片羽毛飄落時的心情。

In the Northern Ocean, there is a fish named Kun,
whose size is unknown, perhaps thousands of miles long.
It transforms into a bird called Peng, whose wingspan is also unknown,
perhaps thousands of miles wide.
When it takes off and its wings look like clouds hanging from the sky. -Chuang Tzu

What is extreme freedom?
Can we be absolutely free without the physical body, only energy?
Soaring above the atmosphere, free from the gravity that binds us,
where does the heart desire to go?
This is the freedom without a sense of weight, above the pull of Earth's force.

Galloping Golden Ox(M)  2021
Mirror Finish Stainless Steel

Edition of 8/EA × 4

The image of the ox carries the memory of our ancestors and their struggle with the land.
In today's digital urban life, we are far from the land.
Through the abstract and fast-paced image of the golden ox,
we aim to showcase the great energy of the land that gives birth to all things.

Response from Mr. Li Hongbin, Chief Marketing Officer:
It is full of vibrant energy, poised for action, as if ready to break free from all constraints. However, I am a little curious. It looks like a bull, but the horns are not visible. Is it intentional to avoid being categorized?

To be honest, I really like it. Every detail is carefully and perfectly placed. The towering back exudes an aura of dominance, the slightly lifted head shows determination to win, and even the sharp eyes evoke a sense of fierce killing intent. The front legs pulling inwards and the hind legs pushing backwards clearly demonstrate a build-up of potential energy. The raised tail and muscular silhouette in a lateral position all echo the overall dynamic energy. The most impressive detail is that pointed horn, which gives an impression of supporting the heavens. It is truly a rare work of art! Moreover, being made of metal enhances the sense of dynamic energy.

牛的意象承載著祖先與土地拼搏的記憶
現今數位化的都會生活離土地更加遙遠
藉由抽象且有速度感的金牛形象
轉載展現土地孕育萬物的偉大能量


統一前行銷長李鴻彬先生的回應:
充滿了蓬勃的動力,蓄勢待發,一副馬上要衝破一切桎梏的模樣。不過有點好奇,它看起來應該是牛,可是角不像,是不想被定位?
說真的,我很喜歡,每個細節都很講究、到位。高聳的背脊有著君臨天下的氣勢、低垂但又微微上揚的頭,顯現出必勝的決心,甚至讓人聯想到殺氣騰騰的銳利眼神,內縮的前腳、往後頂的後腳,擺明著蓄勢待發的飽足能量,上揚的尾巴、側身的肌肉線條,都在呼應整體的動感,最有畫龍點睛之效的是那個尖角,頗有一柱擎天之勢,真是不可多得的藝術創作!尤其又是金屬材質,那種躍動的能量感更加強烈。

they have inherited traditional local techniques and have handled various castings,
from Buddhist statues, temple bells, tea utensils to works of art and crafts.
Orii's "coloring" process is not just simply coloring or painting,
but a traditional technique that involves controlling the corrosive properties of copper
and brass using various conditions such as chemicals or heat,
which brings out the bright and elegant colors of the metal.

Our memories gradually fade but the profound feelings will settle down.
No matter how far we wander, the tired bird always comes back to its nest.
The most difficult thing in life is parting.

It's like a beautiful dream
That makes us unable to leave
But eventually we have to part
Memories will gradually fade
But emotions will ripple in our hearts
Time keeps flowing
And so does the process of life
Whether it's growing up, experience, or goodbye
It's all a kind of accumulation, a kind of experience
What is left behind is not just memories
But also that deep emotion
Like a clear pool, quietly existing
Forever.​

有如一場美夢

但終究還是要分離
回憶總是會漸漸模糊
但情感卻會像漣漪在心底荡漾
時間不停地流淌

不論是成長、經歷、離別
都是一種累積、一種經驗
留下的不只是回憶
還有那份深深的情感
像是一池清泉,靜靜的存在
直到永遠。

Circling outward from the center to form a sharp edge,
The clean cut signifies the splitting of nature's huge rocks.

How can we wield technology to shape the future?"
