The interwoven relationship between human, nature and machine is complicated yet beautiful. I explore how visceral emotion, feeling, language and communication all play an important part of how our bodies react, to visualize this invisible feeling. I attempt to visualize the mystery of the human body and society through various ceramic and glass techniques, such as hand-building, blowing and ceramic 3D printing. Using different methods of combining and stressing the material, capturing that resistance and embracing the outcome through a series of making and remaking of a specific object. I also explore the symbiotic relationship between human, nature and technology through combining 3D printing technique and hand building technique together. Creating a tranquil meditation space that evokes deep contemplation.
