    Description

    "Concept: In the work "Love," I expressed the five stages of the human mental state in works I to VI. This is the fifth piece in the "Love" series. I compared the spirit to a container. A faucet is a spout of love from the surrounding environment. If the spirit is healthy, it can receive love from others and from the environment and be satisfied. However, if the spirit is damaged or broken for some reason, love leaks out and cannot be satisfied. In such a case, they continue to suffer and seek more and more affection in order to somehow fill their spirit. This film is based on the example of a young man who is in such an unfortunate situation, not of his own choosing. International issues, political issues, technology, the new coronavirus, and other topics that everyone knows about that are reported in the daily news attract a lot of attention, but the problems of small families and individuals do not receive as much attention, and the issues may be too diverse to address. Society is made up of a myriad of small families and individuals that do not get much light. Having closely observed the unbalanced lifestyles of many young people, I created this work to raise the question of whether attention should be paid to the serious problems of smaller units. Love Corporal (Water Heater and Broken Glass) It is completely broken and cannot hold anything even if you pour love into it. Material: Ceramic Technique: Hand-building (cord making) 1220 degree oxidation firing Size: Water heater size W290×D110×H345(mm) Glass size W200×D220×H90(mm) *The overall size will vary depending on the display location. The size is indicated as 1 x 1 x 1 (cm) in the system.

  • About this artist

    Concept

    . Ceramics is one of the oldest materials in which humans have been involved. Furthermore, I make most of my works using the most primitive technique of them all, string making. By daring to leave traces of piled clay, I imply the accumulation of history that people have made with clay.
    The concept of the work is to raise issues in small units within society (e.g., family and friendships), to express the human spirit, skepticism and irony toward social conventions, and philosophical reflection on the activities of people living in the present.
    If earthenware is a reflection of events such as ancient beliefs, thoughts, and lifestyles, I consider my works to be like earthenware reflecting contemporary events.
