This work was designed and created by Teacher Zeng of the Rhinoceros Bird artist team and Professor Wang Ruoyu of Chengdu University. The device is presented in an integrated way of structural modeling, and adopts a mutually supporting structural system in which self-structures are nested into each other. Similar to water stand Square polyhedral shapes are piled up into an abstract shape. The entire installation is composed of volumes, creating concreteness in abstraction. The diamond-like composition allows the installation to present different luster effects at different angles, just like in China. Ancient garden stone landscapes are composed in the same way, producing the effect of different scenery as you move around. The installation cleverly combines the visual difference of the slope of the site. From the bottom of the slope, it looks like a giant crossing the hillside, and from other angles, it looks like a bright boulder.For the first time, the surface of this device is made of sun-resistant transparent material, combined with a colorful film coating. Under different light and shadow effects and different viewing angles, the works are given different shapes and colors. The structure of the device is composed of a hybrid structure of stainless steel plates and aluminum plates from top to bottom. In different height areas, materials with different weight distribution are used to ensure the stability of the structure, while also reducing the dead weight and making the device safer. The biggest highlight of this device is that the entire work is assembled from detachable parts, so any part that is damaged can be replaced at any time. The precise arrangement of structural connection points avoids various detail defects in welding and eliminates the need for the use of glue. It precisely controlsthe degree of deformation and allows the overall shape details to be accurately controlled by the designer. Of course, at the same time, this also makes the overall design difficulty of the device instantly rise to several technical levels. This is also the case for this type of structure.
The biggest feature of artistic works. The exquisite structural connection design allows the device to boldly display the internal structural shape without having to cover up traces such as welding deformation and glue polishing. The work utilizes metal structures and transparent The pulling force between the plates is reduced, and the structural stability of the entire device is stronger.
The interior of the device is equipped with 99 breathing lights, which light up and go out with the breath at the same time, full of vitality of life, and look like a giant rising from the ground from a distance. As the breathing light turns on and off, the colors of the device become brilliant.
