Where functiontakes form.
I investigate how things move, break, and endure—then give those forces a form people can enter.
Enter the work ↘An approach to making
Analysis, making, and aesthetic judgment are not separate stages.
A model lets me understand a force. An experiment lets me meet its uncertainty. Design gives the result a form that others can enter. Each changes the next question I ask.
Observe
Begin with a phenomenon that refuses to look ordinary.
Explain
Build a physical model, then make it answer to evidence.
Make
Translate knowledge into an object, image, or experience.
Re-see
Let culture and human response open the next inquiry.
Selected work · 01
Absolute Racing
Performance gave the car purpose. A red-and-gold visual language gave a Chinese team a presence people recognized.
Context / identity
Familiar cultural language,
placed in an unfamiliar
technical context.
Our red-and-gold identity was singular in the international field. Its recognizability drew repeated praise and helped the team earn Xiaomi's support.

Spaghetti Accelerator
How does a brittle strand, pushed into a curved tube, fracture—and launch fragments at surprising speed?
NKPT · Grand Prizestored strain energy
brittle fracture
kinetic release
Model the strand
I treated the spaghetti as a beam constrained by contact points in the curved tube, linking deflection to concentrated stress.
Account for loss
The energy balance included initial motion, stored strain energy, fracture dissipation, and friction along the tube wall.
Test the parameters
Experiments varied tube bend angle, curvature radius, terminal length, material properties, and pushing speed.

When simulation
meets the tunnel.
A literature-based analytical study of why simulated and measured vehicle aerodynamics diverge.
I compared how Reynolds number, blockage, mesh sensitivity, convergence, boundary conditions, and experimental uncertainty shape validation—not to produce another colorful contour plot, but to ask when a result deserves trust.
This study synthesizes existing simulations and experiments; it does not claim new CFD or wind-tunnel data.
Material practice · 04
A line cut
cannot be uncut.
Seal carving teaches a different kind of precision: feel resistance through the hand, compose positive and negative space in reverse, and accept that one unsteady movement can demand an entirely new beginning.
Other ways I make meaning
Not every project needs to be a monument.
Public speaking
Using pace, tone, and emotional range to shape how an idea lands with a room.
ExpressionSpaghetti bridge
A smaller structural exercise recognized for both load performance and visual resolution.
Supporting studyMineral atlas
An emerging visual-scientific record of luster, fracture, color, and the forms matter makes by itself.
