NFT work from my physical installation work: "Borrowed Scenery and Materialized Waves" (2019) levitated 3D printed mirrored sculpture, magnet.

In Tibetan Buddhism, there is a Buddhist tool called a maniwheel. It is said that spinning it has the same effect as praying words. As the maniwheel rotates in the landscape, it plays the words of prayer for reincarnation, reminding us of the harmony and transformation of the human soul and the landscape. This artwork is a sculpture that finds its inspiration there. And “borrowed scenery” is the principle of "incorporating background landscape into the composition of a garden" found in traditional East Asian garden design. This sculpture is a material mirror in the form of a wave. The apparatus is a material mirror, while it is a matter, defying gravity, and while it is a form, it is freed from its own form by reflection. The motions become part of the landscape transformer.
