XYZ, 2020
The 'XYZ series' is crafted employing traditional, hands-on techniques reminiscent of factory workers.
With the advent of modern industry, resin became a pivotal invention. The Fiberglass Reinforced Plastic (FRP) technique is a contemporary factory worker's craft, involving the layering of resin and fiber multiple times. However, there exists an incongruity between the realm of factories and craftsmanship, with this technique often lacking the artisanal spirit found in traditional craft methods.
'XYZ' has been conceived as an everyday object, reimagining the factory worker's technique through a contemporary craft-oriented approach, thereby bridging the gap between modern industry and traditional craftsmanship.
