Celestial-cranial Instrument: Scaphe of Light finds its inspiration in the Yangyi (the upward-facing hemisphere), an astronomical device invented by the Yuan dynasty astronomer Guo Shoujing. The artist extracts three structural elements—the pinhole aperture, the graduated ring, and the shadow-catching hemisphere—and re-embodies them within the imagery of the human skull. The work’s interior, marked by fissured bone-like textures, stands in sharp contrast to its flawless, mirror-polished exterior. As the overhead light shifts, reflections and shadows slowly circulate within and without the piece, generating a rhythm oscillating between celestial motion and human breath.

《星骨仪：流光盏》 的原型为元代天文学家郭守敬发明的天文仪器——仰仪。艺术家从中提取了透光孔、刻度环和承影半球面这三个核心结构，将其解构后重新附身于人类头骨的意象之中。作品内层沟壑丛生的骨感与外层极致光滑的镜面形成鲜明对比。随着上方的光线变化，反射与投影在作品内外缓慢流转，呈现出一种介于天体运行与生命呼吸之间的节律。
