About the Exhibition
Exploring a comfortable companionship between objects and humans.
There exists a mutual companionship between vessels and individuals.
Through the high-temperature firing of clay and glaze, each piece is endowed a unique identity, akin to you and me. In our independent existence, we discover our own fitting forms, perfectly tailored to ourselves.
When one feels the impulse to use it, they can instinctively pick it up; fostering mutual understanding between the user and the object, finding the ideal relationship in everyday life.
Creative Concept
The artwork showcases mastery in employing reduction firing, a technique conducted in an oxygen-free environment to expel oxygen from both the clay body and glaze. This method yields a lustrous surface with nuanced layers and opulent glaze effects created by the metal compounds.
Consequently, artworks produced in the same kiln may exhibit distinctive outcomes based on their placement within the kiln, akin to serendipitous encounters in life—organic and perfectly fitting. This ethos exemplifies the brand’s philosophy, DU-A-HO, derived from the Taiwanese Hokkien pronunciation of “just right.”
