The idea for this exhibition came about through a study on things that can be easily found in everyday life.
I wanted to examine the aesthetic choices in ordinary objects that we normally take for granted. The object
I chose to examine in detail was a “chair,” because chairs are so omnipresent that we barely even see them.
Interpreting the idea of a “chair through my own aesthetics, I came up with pieces that are sometimes
experimental and sometimes realistic.
The meaning in this artistic process doesn’t simply revolve around the final pieces I create but includes every
moment— from the time I started looking closely at the formal elements of a “chair” to the time of this exhibition
in which the works I designed are displayed. I wish to suggest that aesthetics apply not only to fine art or design,
but upon close investigation can be found in every object in daily life.
