The Porcelain  Wall05–2023
The work is constructed through slab-building. Soft clay slabs are folded, bent, stretched, and assembled within a restrained planar field. The resulting form resembles a wall, yet it resists conventional architectural functions. It does not divide or enclose, but remains open—suggesting a surface that can be entered, read, and imagined.

From an architectural perspective, this is a decentralized structure. The wall becomes a mediator rather than a boundary. The gaps, undulations, and overlaps between slabs generate a spatial rhythm that hovers between order and openness.

Rather than presenting a finished ideal, The Porcelain Wall proposes an ongoing condition—a quiet utopia formed through coexistence, where individuality is preserved and shared space emerges through accumulation.
