He stretches out the heavens like a canopy,

and spreads them out like a tent to live in.

ISAIAH 40:22

The universe came into being like a vast curtain stretched taut, within which all forms of life continually emerge and flourish.

Each constellation follows its order; each appears in time, and becomes beautiful.
The sun and moon know their stations, shining impartially to the ends of the earth. Light and darkness were separated long ago—each rests in its given place. The mighty wind walks its appointed path, thunder echoes to steady its steps. Rain divides according to command—even the uninhabited land is not forgotten. Dew and frost are born of hidden chambers, solid as stone in their crystal stillness. Cloud and dust gather in harmony; stars and galaxies are bound like threads in a tapestry. Beasts hide in secret places; birds of passage trace their journeys across the sky. The eagle nests on high, watching its prey from the rocky cliffs. In the mountains, the doe knows the day of its labor, counting the months in patience. Its young search for food, and the hills become their pasture…

Behind the visible forms of all things, invisible forces pull, interact, and balance one another, giving rise to the rich and beautiful forms found in life and nature.

Inspired by this understanding, artist Aki Ro (Yahui Lyu) developed Tension-Active Form—a form-making approach in which tension drives the emergence of three-dimensional forms. Combining computational design with craftsmanship, he transforms flat materials such as paper, wood, and fabric into dynamic, organic structures through bending, stretching, and interconnection under tension.

Through his artistic practice, he continues to explore how invisible forces give rise to visible beauty, discovering the wonders of creation through the interplay of materials, space, and human interaction.

祂鋪張穹蒼如幔子，展開諸天如可住的帳棚。

以賽亞書 40:22

宇宙彷彿一張被張拉開的幔子孕育而生，各樣的生命在其中生生不息。

各樣星宿隨從定例，各按其時成為美好。
太陽月亮知其本位，普照四極毫無偏見。
光明黑暗劃分界限，早已出生各居其所。

大風行走按其道路，雷電轟鳴穩其腳蹤。
雨水分道遵照指令，無人之地他也顧念。
露水冰霜各出其胎，凝結如石堅硬無比。
雲彩塵土各抱成團，銀河砂石彼此相連。

野獸埋伏隱秘深處，候鳥空中南北往返。
蒼鷹築巢擇選高處，山岩之間窺看獵物。
母鹿知其下犢之機，定心數算懷胎時日；
其子尋找可食之物，遍山成為牠的草場…

在萬物可見的形態背後，無形的力量彼此牽引、傳遞與平衡，使生命與自然呈現出豐富而美妙的形態。

藝術家 Aki Ro (Yahui Lyu) 由此發展出 Tension-Active Form——一種以張力驅動形態生成的造型方法。他結合計算設計與手工製作，使紙張、木材與織物等平面材料在張力作用下彎曲、延展、相互連結，逐漸生成富有生命感的立體結構。透過藝術創作，他持續探索無形的力量如何孕育有形之美，並在材料、空間與人的相互作用中，持續發現創造的奧妙。
