"My work often deals with a reformulation of trivial objects from everyday life, which I give, by a series of operations, transformations, and disconcerting appearances. It is based on pre-existing forms, such as plastic packaging for snacks, salads, etc., found in supermarkets. These forms with such singular structures designed to be rigid with minimal plastic have inspired me to use them to generate new objects by changing the material that constitutes them. Instead of transparent plastic, I introduce a heterogeneous material, granular, composite, reminiscent of oxidized iron or archaeological remains underwater.
The series FUWA FUWA treats the forms of plastic bottles. I replace the transparent plastic with noble materials, ceramic and glass. The ceramic element evokes an archeological piece and the glass element sketches the missing piece as a fantom object of the consumption of our times. Plastic has become for me an important subject of research because it symbolises the speed of our current society. This takes on the strange appearance of an object difficult to date, archaic and futuristic at the same time. The universal and contemporary resonance of this temporal ambiguity is what interests me.
For this series, I was inspired by archeological pieces exhibited in different museums. The works consist of filling in missing parts of these objects with glass or transparent resin. It is a matter of recalling the original form of the object by showing a ceramic archeological object conserved and crystallized with glass. These pieces can be used as small sake bottles or as fragrance diffusers."
