Concept Statement:
This collection draws inspiration from the intricate patterns of traditional Chinese garden windows, where light and shadow blur the line between the real and the imagined. By weaving together the solid structure of window frames with the ethereal dance of light, each piece becomes a portal to layered dimensions—a dreamscape where the tangible and intangible collide.

Fusing ancient cultural motifs with the limitless possibilities of modern 3D printing, these designs transcend conventional boundaries. They invite the viewer to explore spaces where time unfolds and reality bends, just as in a dream within a dream. The collection captures the delicate balance between presence and absence, form and light, as though the very fabric of reality is being reshaped.

Each piece serves as a reminder of the unseen depths that lie beyond the surface, an exploration of how tradition and innovation can harmonize in an ever-evolving dance between past and future.
