Four Seasons

Even wood from the same tree never appears exactly the same. Subtle yet rich variations in color, grain, and density reveal multiple layers within a single whole, where distinct worlds seem to coexist.

Four Seasons is a wall mosaic created for Moriii, a wooden furniture brand in Taichung. Twelve types of wood from the factory are composed through tonal range, sapwood–heartwood contrast, and cut direction, forming a color palette that reflects the changing seasons. Radial grain defines ‘Spring’ and ‘Autumn’, while cross-section cuts shape ‘Summer’ and ‘Winter’, unfolding a natural rhythm inspired by the logic of weaving.

The Summer color palette evolves into the Summer Series furniture.

即使來自相同樹種，木材的顏色、紋理與密度也從不完全一致。它們包含著多樣而異質的層次；當我們將一棵樹視為一個整體時，甚至能感受到不同世界的並存。

受台灣家具品牌 「森手木工」 邀請，為台中大里店面創作壁面作品 《四季》，以展現森手的品牌精神。作品透過拼木手法聚焦工廠師傅的細膩工藝，並活用廠內常備的多樣木種。全作共使用十二種木材，依其深淺調性、邊材及心材的對比、取材時的切面變化，發展出對應四季的色譜。

作品以編織的排列邏輯為基礎，轉化為可被閱讀的自然韻律。春與秋以徑向切面呈現，紋理延展、色彩柔和明亮，彷彿新芽和紅葉的色彩遞嬗；夏與冬則運用橫切斷面，形成更為強烈的肌理色塊，對應盛夏的生機和冬日的靜謐。

夏季拼木色版另發展為 《夏季系列》 邊桌。
