This piece reinterprets Neolithic Majiayao motifs as a fictional cosmic diagram. Through numerological mysticism, the patterns demonstrate the number 12 and its multiples, generating a rhythmic visual energy. Structurally, the terracotta vessel is elevated by industrial steel parts, detaching it from its base to create a "floating" effect. This "hybrid antiquarianism" bridges ancient totems with modern engineering. By combining the swirling lacquered lines with a gravity-defying structure, the work serves as a contemporary vessel that connects ancient cultural heritage with modern industrial aesthetics.
