‘Creating a Void’ is a work that explores the tension and balance between materiality and space through a combination of stainless steel and black maple. The cold, reflective metal contrasts with the deep, rich wood, creating a dynamic interplay that both restrains and harmonizes with one another. Through this contrast, the artist presents "void" not as a simple absence but as a space filled with potential. The piece invites a shifting sense of depth and openness that changes with the viewer’s gaze and movement. This structure, where form meets contemplation, transcends time and materiality, leaving behind a quiet resonance.
