This exhibition, Quirky Views of Everyday, begins with my personal fascination with “quirky taste” — an attraction to the unusual, eccentric, and unexpectedly captivating aspects of everyday life. The works draw inspiration from a variety of curious scenes encountered in daily experience: elderly dancers swaying and moving to music in public parks, vernacular costume and dress-up cultures, and mysterious murals found along city streets.
These layers of visual experiences, accumulated through everyday observation, are deconstructed and internalized through a personal aesthetic lens, then transformed into geometric visual motifs that serve as records of lived experience. These patterns are further embedded into functional ceramic vessels, creating an interactive relationship between image and form.
Through the act of use, the exhibition seeks to foster new connections between the user, the vessel, and the food it contains. In doing so, it opens up an alternative way of engaging with and interpreting the artworks.
