Crafted with tree trunks as the design prototype, this artwork is formed using ceramic 3D printing technology, with sculpted details and texture created by hand. Colored glazed enamels melt and flow together during firing, yielding a rich palette of intermingling hues. The vibrant glazes showcase the unique artistic language of colored glass, while their integration with the tree-inspired form expresses a passionate vitality and primal energy. The tabletop is cut from brass, with deliberately crafted cracks in the metal mirroring the accidental fissures that emerged during the ceramic firing—an intentional design that adds narrative depth to the piece. When two or three people gather around the table for tea or wine, the artwork embodies its namesake concept: "Surrounding Wood." This creation harmonizes technological precision with artisanal craftsmanship, where the organic roughness of tree trunks, the fluidity of molten glazes, and the intentional imperfections of brass converge to celebrate both the raw power of nature and the creative spirit of human design.
