Melissa Shoes, Wabi-sabi In Everyday

As we are constantly fixated on striving for perfection and things anew. We tend to neglect and appreciate nuances of the worn, imperfection and impermanence.

In my collaboration with Melissa Shoes, I conceptualised a series of artefacts in the spirit of Wabi-sabi, capturing ephemeral moments that we hastily overlook.

With the soap artworks, I collected used and expired soaps and recreated them into soap sculptures playing on the different pastel shades, textures and forms. And a series of fragmented concrete wall plants using only basic materials like raw concrete powder and water.
