Yinyun

Yinyun is a ceramic art installation composed of 85 unique 3D printed units. Generative design algorithms were used to extract electric data and to visualize the data on every unit, together creating a gradient effect. The units were fabricated by ceramic 3D printing, using a mixture of white porcelain and coal ash recycled from a power plant. The printing process also creates a detailed surface relief on each piece. No two units are alike. The installation is permanently placed in an exhibition hall in Taipei, Taiwan.

Cancer Assassin

The artist sought to create a portrait of the dramatic moment the death grip of a Natural Killer T cell overcomes a cancer cell's defenses, memorializing a moment humanity desires. Cytotoxic Natural Killer T cells are cancer assassins that induce cancer cells to undergo programmed cell death known as apoptosis. Natural Killer T cells recognize specific sites on the surface of cancer cells called antigens, bind to them, and release biochemical proteins that form pores in the cancer cell's membrane and specifically induce the cancer cell to destruct.

Pulse

Pulse is a pen designed as both a writing tool and a sculptural object. The form is inspired by the calm shape of a cloud and appears to float. Generative patterns drawn from nature create biomorphic structures on the surface. Pulse is produced by lost wax casting, a method that reproduces fine organic detail. The pen can be cast in aluminum, silver, bronze or gold, with a polished or brushed finish. The height is 160 mm and the diameter is 13.5 mm. Metal finishing adds depth, texture and a tactile quality to a familiar everyday object.
