| Fragile Beauty 2025 This collection stems from the sense of distance from nature that accumulates in urban life. After moving from the metropolis to the countryside, I saw how easy it is to lose sight of the "simple beauty" in the mundane. The floral forms are formed intuitively, through tactile contact with clay. I chose clay and a large scale to suggest both the fragility of form and its physical strength. These works are not exact botanical replicas; they evoke fragile moments of presence. For example, one piece is based on the structure of a pumpkin flower, a form we rarely notice, focusing instead on the fruit. For me, "Fragile Beauty" is a way to speak about life as constantly changing and the importance of direct, physical contact: with clay, with nature, with one's own attention. |
