Altar of Time & Cloud is a dialogue between the eternal and the instantaneous. A base of aged sandalwood—its grain like a poem of time—grounds the composition. Rising from it is lightning-struck jujube wood, its surface carrying charcoal traces that no human hand could replicate, shaped by nature in an instant into an ethereal cloud form.

At its heart lies a hollowed cavity. We do not fill it with a physical light. Instead, we invite a symbolic "soul light" to emanate from within—an empty vessel for whatever the viewer brings: contemplation, energy, or faith.

The sandalwood carries the slow accumulation of years. The lightning-struck wood bears nature's sudden signature. One is eternity; the other, an instant. We do not conceal what time has written—the cracks, the charcoal traces, the scars remain visible. A scar is not a flaw; it is proof that something survived.

This piece is not a statement. It is an invitation to sit with it, to project your own inner light into its hollow core, and to discover what arrives in return.

Transformingtime-worn objects into collectible contemplative art.

Yingting Su is the artist behind Loom & Drift, transforming reclaimed Chinese relics—1920s porcelain bowls, century‑old ox yokes, lightning‑struck wood—into one‑of‑a‑kind sculptural lighting. Rather than erasing their age, she preserves their scars, patina, and history, giving each piece a second life as functional art for collectors and designers. Her work explores the quiet dialogue between time, labor, and light. Based in Ningbo, China.
