Scenario Applications

  • Commercial settings: Office building plazas, corporate campuses, hotel lobbies, sales centers, etc.
  • Cultural & tourism settings: Cultural plazas, parks and scenic areas, campuses, exhibition halls, etc.
  • Private settings: Villa courtyards, private clubs, art galleries, etc.
  • Suitable environments: Open-air outdoors, indoor climate-controlled spaces, seaside/high-salinity environments (rust-resistant specifications), etc.
Process Details

  • A 1:1 scale model is first produced from ABS material using 3D printing technology. For the sculpture’s surface, 2.0mm-thick 304 stainless steel sheets are marked and cut based on the model; the metal is then shaped through manual forging—involving approximately 3,000 hammer strikes per square meter—followed by seamless welding of the sections. Flat steel components are precision-cut via laser based on Rhino software designs and assembled. The subsequent mirror-polishing process begins with grinding down weld seams and forging marks using 80-grit sandpaper, followed by progressive smoothing with sandpaper grits of 120, 320, 600, 800, 1200, and 2000. A sisal wheel with purple polishing compound is used to remove initial grinding marks, followed by a wool wheel to eliminate marks left by the sisal wheel. Finally, a cloth wheel with green and white polishing compounds is used for the finishing polish to achieve a mirror-like surface. Internally, a galvanized square-tube framework is installed to match the sculpture’s dimensions, enhancing wind and seismic resistance, with anti-rust treatment applied to all weld joints.
  • Outdoor sculptures all use 24-volt low-voltage LED light sources to eliminate the risk of electric shock. The lights employ advanced power control and can change color and flash in sync with music.
  • Drainage volume and head are carefully calculated, and high-quality, reputable brand 304 stainless steel submersible pumps are used to achieve stable water pressure and flow.
Design Philosophy

  1. Ocean Life in Urban Space
    The whale-inspired form brings a strong marine identity into the city, symbolizing freedom, strength, and natural movement.
  2. Water + Light Interaction System
    Combining reflective metal, flowing water, and LED lighting creates a multi-layer sensory experience that changes between day and night.
  3. Futuristic Landmark Presence
    The canopy-like structure above the whale forms a visual “sky layer,” turning the sculpture into a recognizable nighttime landmark for public spaces.
