《Taihu Rock–East Wind》
This work is a unique attempt to capture the very shape of the "Taihu stone," a symbol of Chinese gardens, as the brushstrokes of calligraphy.
Upon closer inspection, you can see that the structure of the stone is a cursive form of the two Chinese characters "東風" (Dong Feng). "東" is placed at the top and "風" at the bottom, expressing a sense of dynamism as if a powerful east wind is raging. The distinctive feature is how the tangible "stone" and the formless "wind (force)" are united and complement each other.
This expression, which updates traditional calligraphy into a modern three-dimensional artwork, allows viewers to directly feel its energy through its visual impact, even without knowledge of Chinese characters. It is a highly significant challenge to spread Eastern traditions to the world in a new form and to foster dialogue.

《Taihu Rock-East Garden》
Taihu stones are naturally sunk to the bottom of water, and their vitality and unique shapes are formed as the traces of flowing water and the activities of living creatures are etched into them.
In this work, the artist reconstructed the characters "Dong Yuan," originally a calligraphic work, into the form of Taihu stone, infusing it with the energy of "water."
Through the artwork, viewers can simultaneously feel the tranquility of the still water's surface and the grandeur of the stones rising from the lake. The interplay of light and shadow, and the cultural depth nurtured by history—all of these elements encapsulate the beautiful landscape of Jiangnan, China's "City of Water," where water and stone seem to blend together.
