Wave of Cups is a large-scale installation composed of 5,300 paper cups arranged in a wave-like formation. The repeated circular forms create an organic curve, inviting viewers to experience both the poetic potential and structural beauty of everyday materials.

The wave embodies more than visual rhythm—it symbolizes breath, emotion, and the pulse of human connection. Each cup, once disposable, now contributes to a monumental form, celebrating the power of community, the transformation within repetition, and the lingering traces of what once was.
As light and shadow flow across the surface, the shape shifts depending on the viewer’s perspective.

This dynamic interplay reflects the artist’s philosophy of sustainability and cyclical renewal. Through the familiar texture of paper cups, we are reminded of how the remnants of daily life can be elevated into art.
