META Design

Mosaic artist Tsou Hsiao-wei

Material source:

Granite removed from stairwells, recycled marble and granite, reclaimed wood, recycled glass, regenerated boards, recycled copper sheets.

Material features:

Previously used as flooring or wall finishes in stairwells and public spaces, some of these materials were leftover waste from past renovations.

As part of a project themed around “vitality” and “sustainability,” with art embodying the imagery of mountains, forests, and light, artist Tsou Hsiao-wei’s Mountain was made by reassembling existing stone materials (flipped to expose their reverse side) and various recycled materials into a landscape mural symbolizing a mountain. Recycled glass suggests the shifting light and shadows of mountain streams, while reclaimed wood and copper sheets evoke trees and fleeting glimpses of birds in flight. The overall work resembles a silent journey through nature, infusing forest scenery into the interior of urban architecture.
