Yinyun

Yinyun is an art installation composed of 85 unique 3D printed ceramic units, located in Taipower D/S ONE exhibition hall in Taipei, Taiwan. Through generative design algorithm, the electric data was extracted and visualized on every unit, together creating a gradient effect. Ceramic 3D printing, with a mixture of recycled material, was then used to fabricate these units, at the same time, creating detailed surface relief which was indicated by this technique. None of the units is the same as others.

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.

Biophilic

Istanbul Rail System Design Services-Phase 1 connects two green cores, the National Garden and the Belgrade Forests in Istanbul. The line is designed so that it imitates a long green valley connecting the two green cores. The design incorporates parameters of biophilic and sustainable architecture. Visual connection with the outside, natural light and ventilation are allowed through the skylight, and the green wall helps the purification of the air in the station. A salient column that abstracts a tree form is carefully placed to create an emphasis point where crowds can linger.
