I like to use design to build narratives and tell stories, sometimes about a feeling, a person, or a moment I want to hold onto. I often observe everyday life, sitting quietly and noticing what is happening around me. These moments and my emotions become the starting point of my work, and I use small details to shape each piece so the story unfolds step by step.
Summer, Sunlit, Sha-sha, and Me…
A story begins in a quiet summer, where sunlight flickers through leaves, insects hum softly, and old objects carry traces of memory.
I am drawn to quiet, everyday moments, using them to build personal narratives within my work, where emotion and memory can be held through design.
During a period of stress, these subtle sensations became more intense, shaping my sensitivity to light, sound, and material. The rhythm of summer sound is translated into twisted forms and unfinished textures, shaping a quiet yet subtle atmosphere. Through this process, the collection becomes a way of understanding myself through design. Bright and saturated colours drawn from childhood photographs contrast with the soft tones of summer, and this intentional tension reflects a sense of contradiction within my own personality.
Through these forms and contrasts, memory becomes physical, and the collection becomes a way of understanding my own emotions through design.
