"Inkform Series: Sit is a refined sculptural work that translates the spirit of Chinese ink painting into a powerful three-dimensional language, using restraint, material tension, and reflective fragmentation to evoke endurance, balance, and contemplative depth."
- World Front Design Award Review
Inkform Series : Sit
Inkform Series: Sit demonstrates a mature sculptural language that successfully translates the spirit of Chinese ink painting into three-dimensional form. The work’s strength lies in its controlled tension—between fragmentation and cohesion, reflection and opacity, aggression and stillness. The stainless-steel shards read simultaneously as brushstrokes and fractures, creating a rhythm that feels instinctive rather than constructed. The seated posture introduces restraint, anchoring the otherwise volatile material behavior. This restraint deepens the conceptual reading: power is not declared through dominance, but through endurance and balance. The mirrored surfaces effectively dissolve the boundary between sculpture, space, and viewer, reinforcing the theme of impermanence and self-reflection without becoming decorative. Material choice and process are conceptually aligned. The cutting and reassembly are not merely formal gestures; they embody the work’s philosophical core. Environmental considerations, while not overt, add ethical coherence to the practice rather than functioning as a superficial statement. The piece avoids literal symbolism and instead invites contemplation—an approach consistent with Eastern aesthetic traditions and well-resolved in contemporary sculptural terms.
