Everything is a part.
This project explores the act of constantly “taking apart and putting back together” as a method of form-making, shifting away from ideas of perfection in design.
These objects (characters) are results of intrigues in part-to-whole relationships, as well as an exploration of material re-use and tectonic connections.
In collaboration with 555 Arts Detroit, an arts collective based in the Detroit, our team, lead by De Peter Yi, reevaluated forms of structural joineries. By studying the formwork and casting process of aluminum, we identified moments where we could invite free metal flow, absorb softer textures, or stretch expressions to create performative objects that spoke in higher relation to the spaces they occupied (and held together).
