Description
The hyperbolic paraboloid—an elegant, double-curved surface—serves as a central motif in my bamboo explorations. Its sweeping geometry, often called a “hypar,” is not only visually compelling but also structurally efficient. Bamboo, with its exceptional tensile strength and lightness, is the perfect medium for crafting these forms.
In my work, I experiment with hypars of varying scales and configurations. Some evoke movement—figures in mid-stride, breakdancing, or holding yoga poses—while others embrace pure abstraction. Each piece is a study in balance and tension, where curves meet at unexpected angles, and light plays across the surfaces.
These structures are not just artistic expressions but also explorations of bamboo’s potential in design and architecture. By pushing the boundaries of this sustainable material, I aim to create forms that are both functional and poetic.
Through these paraboloid studies, I invite viewers to see bamboo not just as a traditional material but as a medium for contemporary expression, capable of capturing movement, emotion, and the essence of modern design.
