    Flow • Spread • Slow - SLOHAS in Craft

    In 2025, as the National Taiwan Craft Research and Development Institute enters its 71st year, this exhibition embraces “SLOHAS Living” as its central vision—highlighting craft as a joyful rhythm that flows gently, woven into the art of living. Introducing the attitude of SLOW living and LOHAS (Lifestyles of Health and Sustainability), it frames craft as a medium for responding to future social challenges and cultural practice. More than a lifestyle, it is a heartfelt movement—one that begins with sensory experience, inspires social action, and ultimately leads to cultural resonance. Structured through the trilogy of Flow, Spread, and Slow, the exhibition echoes six core values: Simplicity, Lifestyle, Originality, Health, Aesthetics, and Sustainability. From the sensory awakening of Flow, through the expanding practice of Spread, to the co-created contemplation of Slow, the exhibition spreads out how craft moves from individual perception to collective creation, then ultimately returning to a deeper reflection on daily rhythms. This journey mirrors a three-stage progression—from ideals, to attitudes, to styles—unfolding as an active composition for the future of craft and forming a holistic philosophy of SLOHAS in Craft. No longer just a presentation of static objects, this exhibition becomes a dynamic platform—integrating curation, advocacy, and practice, as three main leading directions. It stimulates all five senses, fosters reflection and participation, and outlines a portrait of contemporary Taiwanese craft in transformation. —from traditional craftsmanship to everyday practice and cultural movement. It affirms SLOHAS Living lifestyle as a kind and well cycle of sustainability and kindness—from S to S, infinite and alive.

“Tree“ Woven Bamboo

This work depicts the partial representation of the main trunk and branches of a large tree with extreme delicacy. The artist employs interdisciplinary craftsmanship and irregular inlay techniques to portray the aged and mottled texture of the bark. The overall presentation demonstrates intricate yet orderly weaving skills, showcasing mastery and proficiency in technique. The circular regular pattern at the base of the trunk symbolizes a tree knot, with its outer round and inner square design evoking associations with trees and fruits. The herringbone-patterned band decorating the outer edge of the circle contrasts playfully with the three-dimensional square inside, creating an engaging juxtaposition with the intricate bark inlays.
