The Shell #2

Modernity trades craftmanship and its timescale for functionality and efficiency. The surfaces of everyday object, like ceramic wear and pottery, once serve as narrative spaces for artistic expression, until tradition gave way to the standardization of industrial mass production. In this project, rice cookers, hollowed out and sealed permanently, are transformed into functionless shells. Through painted decorations and storytelling collages, the industrial and modern timescales embedded in these objects are reset to connect with dimensions of mythology and literature.
