The Paradox of Steel and Lightness

When cold, heavy metal encounters the light and agile butterfly, this seemingly contradictory combination unleashes a breathtaking creative tension in public spaces. Large metal butterfly sculptures, centered on the cross-cultural imagery of the butterfly, blend the industrial texture of metal with the sculptural volume. Through forging, welding, hollowing, polishing, and coloring techniques, the hard material is imbued with a vibrant, almost fluttering life force. These 15 representative works not only create a striking visual contrast between weight and lightness but also convey a spirit of hope, transformation, and freedom.

Materials, Craftsmanship, and Dynamic Design

These 15 large metal butterfly sculptures collectively showcase the multidimensional evolution of public art in terms of style, technology, space, and culture. From figurative realism to abstract expression, they break through the natural limitations of the butterfly form, using 304/316 stainless steel combined with laser cutting, forging, and hollowing techniques to achieve a visual transformation between weight and lightness. They soften the architectural atmosphere in commercial and public spaces, connecting the city with nature, and, through the butterfly's symbol of metamorphosis, integrate local culture and ecological issues, giving public art a deeper humanistic meaning.
