Artwork title : The Container to the Earth’s Core

This work explores the relationships between land, plant materials, water, and spatial power. Using “boundary” as a design vocabulary, it symbolizes the dynamics of spatial dominance and subordination, creating a dialectic of power structures. As Michel Foucault and David Harvey have noted, spatial characteristics are closely tied to rights, capitalist crises, and landscape transformations.

The container is crafted through low-temperature firing, creating a porous ceramic body that gradually releases stored water, aiding soil hydration and maintaining underground moisture. The embedded boundary not only marks spatial divisions but also records environmental changes, reflecting the diversity of the land.

From the horizon’s perspective, the container extends downward toward the Earth’s core, its hollow interior infinitely stretching below. Above ground, moss grows on its surface, symbolizing the regeneration of life and expressing the profound connection between nature and artifice, space and life.
