Selected for the Shape of Tomorrow Exhibition

This work was created with the idea of a single boat floating on the sea, as it hovers between reality and fantasy. This juxtaposition was reflected through the contrast between the rough surface of the metal casting and the soft touch of the end product.

What is a rice-bran paste finish?
Rice-bran paste finish is a traditional surface finishing technique that uses bran, salt, and sulfur to rapidly oxidize the surface of the casting, giving it a unique and refined expression.
