"The Sea" is a project centered around lacquer sculpture, aiming to explore the intricate relationship between fluidity, depth, and the cosmos through a minimalist yet elegant formal language. At the heart of this project is a black lacquer sculpture piece, featuring a streamlined shape reminiscent of ocean waves, with a surface that glimmers faintly like stars scattered across the night sky. This sculpture conveys a delicate balance between stillness and movement, encapsulating the vastness of the night sea within a single piece of art, inviting viewers to engage in profound contemplation and imagination.

"The Lonely One" is an art project that explores the fusion between the human form and natural forces. In this work, a simplified representation of the upper human body is depicted with white erosion, symbolising the effects of seawater. This artistic expression delves into the fragile relationship between humans and the natural environment, reflecting the impact of natural forces on us and our own transformation. By presenting the face, shoulders, and abdomen as eroded by seawater, the project prompts profound contemplation on human existence, environmental change, and the power of nature.
