Co-Fusion
Ceramic
21.5x11x16cm, 2024
In an era where artificial intelligence, social media, and mobile devices dominate our daily lives, we witness the tension between technological advancement
and the fading of traditional practices. Society resembles a metabolic process, consuming intrinsic, learned, and inherited elements to propel growth. The
journey begins with a single primitive line, representing the limitless potential of new beginnings. From this singular point, paths diverge, shaped by both
physical and non-physical environments. Rooted in a mathematical and rational framework, my approach employs computational design methods to create a
series of geometric forms that vary in height, shape, deflection, and orientation based on specific input parameters. The culminating work features an evolving
container, tracing a visual narrative from origin to form. It embodies a fusion of static existence and dynamic emergence, serving as a metaphor for the
continuous metabolism of society. "Co-Fusion" invites viewers to reflect on the interplay of tradition and technology in their lives, emphasizing the beauty of
transformation and the interconnectedness of our experiences.
