In an era where artificial intelligence, social media, and mobile devices dominate daily life, society finds itself at the intersection of technological progress and the decline of traditional practices. Society functions like a metabolic process, consuming intrinsic, learned, and inherited elements to fuel growth. Co-Fusion captures moments of fusion and synthesis within this dynamic context.

The creative journey of Co-Fusion begins with a primitive line, symbolizing limitless potential and new beginnings. From this point, multiple paths emerge, shaped by both physical and non-physical influences.

Rooted in a mathematical and rational framework, the artist employs computational design methods to generate a series of geometric forms. These forms vary in height, shape, deflection, and orientation based on specific input parameters. Through the use of ceramic 3D printing technology, the work achieves precise dimensional accuracy and strength, resulting in elegant ceramic pieces.

The final series consists of two evolving containers, visually tracing a journey from origin to form. These pieces embody the fusion of static existence with dynamic emergence, serving as a metaphor for society’s continuous metabolic cycle. Co-Fusion invites viewers to reflect on the interplay between tradition and technology, emphasizing transformation and interconnected experiences.

At the heart of both philosophical and religious Taoism lies the Dao De Jing, which states, "The Tao produces One; One produces Two; Two produces Three; Three produces All things," emphasizing the interconnectedness of identity and environment. Empirical Growth illustrates the evolution from the singular to the plural, showcasing a journey from simplicity to complexity.

This ceramic sculpture functions as a "growth simulator," reflecting how awareness, personalities, and identities are shaped by individual growth trajectories. Rooted in a mathematical and rational framework, the artist employs computational design methods to simulate the growing process. Utilizing ceramic 3D printing technology, the sculpture achieves remarkable dimensional accuracy and structural integrity.

The resulting ceramic set includes a plate (127x127x17 mm), a bowl (100x100x58 mm), a cup (100x100x58 mm), and a vase (150x150x270 mm). Each object represents a distinct manifestation of identity, emerging from the same origin but expanding into diverse forms. These pieces highlight the self-exploration inherent in the multiplicity of identities within varying "containers."

Ultimately, the objects transcend static existence, emerging as dynamic, living entities infused with energy. They embody an inner vitality and movement that encourages viewers to reflect on their own growth and the multitude of influences shaping their identities. Empirical Growth explores the intricate relationship between individuals and their environments, celebrating the richness and complexity of human experience.
