Artwork Title: Spirit Consonance — Stone's Wandering III: "Crimpled Cloud Peak", "Auspicious Cloud Peak", "Cloud-capped Peak", "Kwong Yat-sau Rock", "Exquisite Jade Rock"
Field Notes: The Autopoietic Ecology of Objects, a Non-human Perspective II
Year: 2025
Materials: TPU Gold mirror film, high-density foam, aluminium plate, brushless fan
In traditional Chinese gardens, Taihu stones are regarded as symbols of refined elegance and cultural vitality. Their naturally formed, unique shapes with perforated holes have been admired by scholars throughout history. This artwork draws inspiration from four famous Taihu stones of Jiangnan Classical Gardens of the Chinese Mainland — Cloud-capped Peak, Auspicious Cloud Peak, Crimpled Cloud Peak and Exquisite Jade Rock — as well as the Kwong Yat-sau Rock, which the artist personally selected during a field visit to Kowloon Walled City Park in Hong Kong and captured its form by 3D scanning.The five sculptural forms, modelled after Taihu stones, are clad in golden mirror-like films. Through the spontaneous expansion and contraction of these outer films, the stones appear to breathe — as if inhaling and exhaling — allowing energy and spirit to flow continuously, imbuing the work with an unending sense of vitality.
