Daily Object Series

In a world increasingly saturated with images, information, and objects, Daily Object turns towards the ordinary and often overlooked. Eggs, chopsticks, mirrors, glass, and metal—materials that carry familiar functions and identities—gradually reveal another condition through use, contact, and interaction.

While these works may appear as completed forms, they are not concerned with the result itself, but with the processes that bring such forms into being. Pulling, supporting, reducing, accumulating, suspending, and wearing away—these actions and forces continuously act upon materials, leaving temporary traces at particular moments in time. What the works present is a moment in which an event has been briefly suspended and condensed into form.

Within this series, use becomes a form of writing, and contact becomes a form of memory. The traces on surfaces, the tensions between materials, and the instability embedded within each form all record transformations that have occurred and continue to unfold. Through these processes, material change becomes a metaphor, reflecting rhythms of restraint, depletion, and release.

Daily Object does not seek to assign new symbolic meanings to everyday things. Instead, it attempts to make visible the relationships embedded within them. As function is diminished, order disrupted, and forms gradually shift away from their original state, objects begin to reveal the time and processes they have undergone.

They are concerned not with what objects are, but with how they have become what they are.
