Full Stride | Limited-Edition White Porcelain Ram Sculpture

Full Stride is a limited-edition matte white porcelain sculpture that reimagines the Chinese zodiac ram through a mechanical structure, symbolizing the ability to navigate one’s time while forging an independent path.

The work begins with the Chinese saying, “To do good work, one must first sharpen one’s tools.” Knowledge, technology, and practical skill become the anatomy of the mechanical ram. Its construction is not a simple celebration of machinery, but a reflection on how people prepare themselves to meet change with confidence.

With its head raised and stance composed, the ram suggests that a worthwhile path need not resemble anyone else’s. Tools may evolve and methods may change; what matters is understanding the destination and developing the ability to move toward it.

The Chinese title Yang Guan Da Dao also plays on the word yang, meaning sheep or ram. From NewChi’s perspective, moving with the times does not mean allowing the times to dictate one’s direction. The breadth of the road depends not only on circumstance, but on knowing why one has set out and where one hopes to arrive.

At 31 cm in length, the sculpture has a distinct forward direction. Leave open space in front of the ram’s head so its movement does not appear visually obstructed.

Its matte white surface pairs well with dark wood, metal, stone, and restrained neutral backgrounds. Side lighting will reveal the mechanical planes and fine surface details more clearly.
