About Me
I view myself as an observer of people’s reflection in front of impermanence, where the act of my creation is my own reflection. My work reflects humanity’s desire for permanence amid the transient nature of time. Ceramics, taking a thousand years to decompose, lasting much longer than human lifespan, satisfies to some extent our human desire for “eternity”. My practice explores the poetics of impermanence. Through inspirations from local custom to domestic practices to social media posts, revealing how people deal with the futility of life via their seemingly insignificant archives. I aim to capture the tension between what endures and what fades, ultimately reflecting on the ways we construct meaning through objects that will outlast us.
