dust shade

dust dignifing lamp shade / graduation project(2009)

A lampshade to dignify dust.

Dust is everywhere around us, but we merely care about it. I was fascinated with the effect (sun)light will have on dust: it will make it sparkle. 
Dust shade has allowed me to capture the beauty of dust. This has inspired me to create a lamp in the combination with dust. As the lampshade's frame, charged with static electricity, become covered in layers of dust, they will take on the appearance of soft, fluffy cotton.

water imprint

natural shape of plastic (2009)

What is the natural shape of plastic?

Most plastics are made out of oil derived liquid. They don't have any original shape, unlike wood. We see them in artificial shape, as plates, rods, pipes or shapes which are sourced from molds.

The water had visualized a lime stone, cave like appearance, to the plastic.

There is soft boundary between resin and water. In the beginning, resin sinks to the bottom. When the reaction starts, bubbles start to build pillars, and then create top surface above the water.
