"Characteristics of Life" serves as the title for this seriesof creations, which blend personal emotions andexperiences with the forms of cosmic constellations toimagine the four stages of life expressed through fourartworks.At the same time, it captures a reflection of thecreator's mindset during the creative process—from theinitial excitement of engaging in creation to moments ofconfusion and self-doubt, gradually finding direction,and ultimately achieving balance while embracingmultiple perspectives. This cycle repeats endlessly, likea perpetual loop.

The techniques extensively used in these works are primarily inspired by Alvar Aalto, the pioneer of bentwood design, and his "cold-pressed bentwood technique." Aalto is also a key innovator in the wood furniture industry. In this series, I seek to break wood's material boundaries and challenge its conventional perception. No longer confined to a rational and rigid impression, I aim to present wood as soft and emotive as water.

At the heart of the works is an incense burner, representing the core of life. The smoke produced by the incense is intangible and colorless, unfettered by physical form, and capable of drifting anywhere. Our souls, regardless of where we are, what stage of life we are in, or how external circumstances change, can float freely like the smoke to wherever we aspire to be.
