Window II |
Rye Town Park and Beach, Rye, NY

2019
Size: H 10' W 11' L 12.5'
Material: stainless steel, steel, paint, fabric, acrylic
Window series is a colorful large scale interactive sculpture incorporating a functional swing. The sculpture takes a dome-like shape with six clear acrylic windows where viewers can look in and out. Reddish colors contrast with the grey, blue, green colors of the cityscape. Its swing experience is extraordinary since the swing motion happens between the internal prismatic environment and the external landscape. It brings the sensation of traveling in and out of the spaces of different colors—like a sci-fi time-travel machine. Unlike conventional swing’s chain handles, it employs metal pipes which creates smooth movement without side to side motion.
Public comments:
Peggy Roalf, chief editor of AI-AP magazine, reviewed, “Window II also looks like a giant plaything—so irresistible that I found myself inside of it and flying through the air within minutes of seeing it last fall.”
An instagram user commented in July 2020, “Window II has the ability to send me to an alternative reality, one that operates on joy and harmony, not fear and hate. Thank you from the bottom of my heart”.

Confession |
West 132nd St, Harlem Community Garden
September - October, 2020 Currently on view at Oeno Gallery Sculpture Garden, Ontario, Canada |
2020
Size: H62" W29" L72"
Medium: steel, stainless steel, composite wood
“Confession” takes the form of a reclining chair where visitors can lay down and relax to reflect upon and have an intimate conversation with themselves. It seems to be a nicely designed reclining chair at the first glance, and when they lay down on it, they will find themselves in reflection on a convex mirror that cannot be seen from other angles. While in an open public space, viewers can be absorbed in a private self-reflecting moment, juxtaposing the self-image against the surroundings such as trees in the garden and the sky: they are physically out in public, but mentally slipping into their internal visions. The concept of the work was inspired by the “Window” series.
