Origin
solo exhibition at New Taipei City Yingge Ceramics Museum
"Origin" meditates on cycles of destruction and renewal — the entropy of history and the patterns of reinvention that follow. The works center on the metamorphosis of matter and the silent forces that shape all forms into being. These forces, though often invisible, leave marks we can read in the body of the earth — and in ourselves. The artworks emerge from a dialogue with the materials and their inherited memory from the earth.
Rooted in the materiality of the earth, Origin draws a line between geology and ancestry — a recognition of the earth’s body as living memory, a keeper of human traces. Porcelain, one of the primary materials in the artworks, becomes a conduit for exploring nature’s hidden processes, echoing the primordial conditions from which all matter is born and continually reshaped.
The sculptures suggest bodies in flux, remnants caught between decay and rebirth, erosion and emergence. The forms are suspended between disintegration and growth, insinuating states of becoming. Pressure, fracture, and change — shaped by time, gravity, and elemental energy — echo the silent choreography through which matter finds its form.
The exhibition is made possible with the generous support of the Alfred Kordelin Foundation, Finland and Art Promotion Center Finland.
