About the Item
Designer's Note:
Mindful Decor: This sculpture embodies the art of slowing down. Its compact size (11.8 inches high) makes it an ideal companion for a tea table, a desk, or a low sideboard where one might pause to take a breath during a busy day.
Material Warmth: Carved from dense Taiwanese Mersawa wood, the piece features a rich texture and warm, earthy tones. The visible chisel marks capture the light, adding a layer of organic complexity that softens modern, linear interiors.
Atmosphere: The figure’s settled, relaxed posture instantly communicates a sense of stability and contentment, perfect for creating a "slow living" vibe in a study or living room.
The Story:
In "Half Leisure," Taiwanese artist Ser Uang Huang explores the beauty of finding stillness amidst the chaos of life. The title refers to the concept of stealing a "half-day of leisure" from the floating world. The work is deeply rooted in the artist's poetic reflection:
"Half a day of leisure in this fleeting life, Stealing a breath of air amidst the busy rush. Sitting quietly, listening to time flow slowly by. Seeking not more, Seeking not fast. To have this moment of peace and stability Is the true blessing."
The sculpture depicts a figure in a state of deep relaxation, settled comfortably as if letting the weight of the world drop away. Ser Uang Huang uses his signature technique of preserving the knife marks to give the form a rugged, natural feel, contrasting with the serene philosophy it represents. Carved from Taiwanese Mersawa Wood, the piece radiates a grounded energy, reminding us that happiness is often found not in achieving more, but in savoring the quiet moments we already have.
