Void
縄文時代の土器は、粘土に縄を押し付けて模様を刻みました。それは装飾であると同時に、滑り止めや強度を高める機能を持ち、日用品を精神的な意味を宿す道具へと高めていました。
本作「Void」は、その縄文土器を参照しながら、現代の視点でロープを装飾として扱い、器のフォルムを“編む”ように構築した花器です。
透明な素材や金属を組み合わせ、存在するようで存在しないような曖昧なシルエットを目指しました。
縄文の力強さと現代の軽やかさを重ね合わせ、二千数百年前から今日に至る暮らしや素材の変化を想像するきっかけとなれば幸いです。
素材:ナイロンロープ、アクリル、アルミ
In the Jomon period, pottery was created by pressing ropes into clay to form patterns. These decorations were not merely ornamental; they enhanced grip and strength while elevating everyday vessels into objects with spiritual meaning.
The work Void takes this tradition as a reference, reinterpreting it through a contemporary lens. Here, the rope becomes a visible ornament while simultaneously shaping the vessel’s form, as if “woven” into its structure. By combining transparent materials with metal components, the piece seeks to evoke a silhouette that is both present and absent—visible yet elusive.
Through this dialogue between the robust spirit of the Jomon era and the lightness of modern materials, Void invites reflection on how our ways of living, our cities, and the materials that surround us have transformed over the course of more than two thousand years, while our fundamental human nature may remain much the same.
