Created in 2009, Rhythm of the Sea is a series of five openwork bronze relief panels integrated into the architectural structures of Shanhai Square in Bayuquan, Yingkou.
Each panel is organised around marine life associated with the coastal environment, including seahorses, seals, crabs, sharks, octopuses, and fish. The animals are surrounded by curling waves, aquatic plants, and flowing ornamental lines.
Drawing on the visual language of traditional Chinese openwork carving, the compositions transform marine forms into interconnected patterns. Solid bronze figures and open spaces alternate across the panels, allowing light, air, and the surrounding seascape to pass through the work.
Installed within the openings of the square’s white stone walls, the panels function as both architectural decoration and framed views. The contrast between dark bronze and pale stone strengthens the clarity of the marine imagery.
Rather than presenting the sea as a single landscape, the series constructs a rhythmic visual field through repeated curves, circulating lines, and varied marine creatures, connecting the architecture of the square with the coastal environment beyond.
《海之韵》创作于2009年，是设置于辽宁营口鲅鱼圈山海广场建筑墙体中的一组镂空青铜浮雕，共由五幅独立雕版构成。
各幅作品以滨海环境中的海洋生物为主要形象，包括海马、海豹、海蟹、鲨鱼、章鱼及游鱼等。动物周围环绕海浪、海草与连续流动的装饰性曲线。
作品借鉴中国传统透雕的构成语言，将海洋生物转化为相互穿插、彼此连接的纹样结构。实体青铜形象与镂空部分交替出现，使光线、空气与远处海景能够穿过作品。
五幅浮雕分别嵌入广场白色石质建筑的开口之中，既是建筑装饰，也形成面向周围环境的框景窗口。深色青铜与浅色石材之间的对比，使海洋形象更加清晰。
作品没有将大海表现为单一的自然景观，而是通过反复出现的曲线、回旋的线条和多样的海洋生物，构成连续的视觉节奏，并将广场建筑与滨海环境连接起来。
