"Sensitive, breakable, fragile, weak lines and shapes sometimes move our minds deeply. I tried to find out what attributes create "internal toughness" which gives an object overall characteristics of "weakness." I learned the value of "disappearing things" through the process of producing porcelain using hollow ceramic casting.

I feel it is very important for product designer's to give shape to objects. Thus the theme for my graduation project was "to modify shapes and form." This way I was able to work on designing the forms of my works. I chose the theme "disappearance" to study form. For example, the small cracks on the surface of tables, like the chips from being used. I feel such scenes give us a very positive impressions. I feel this phase right before crumbling is very beautiful. I tried to represent this feeling and made models to represent this fragility and "state of disappearance."

Fragility and weak things tend to have a negative nuance to them. However, through my study of examining small pieces and thin lines I was able to find a certain strength like that found in nature and life. I came up with the hypothesis that fragility are signs of passing time. I feel objects that have accumulated chips and scars from passing time reveal this inner strength. I looked for creating shapes that reveal the "Act of standing up" and "Disappearance" to incorporate into the form."
